Reinstalled hipster, and still it does not work, switched to
another user with role admin, and again this fails. So there's
not much room left where a lock file or other remnant artefakt
can hide...

I'm now not sure at all if it ever worked on a8 hipster
(it does on a7), it more seems that this is a general
problem introduced by a security fix in libdbus recently:
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60667>

If it really does not work (can anybody confirm this ?),
this at least means that the gnome menu startup script for
the packagemanager must be changed.
