I tried adding the file

$ sudo cat /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/test.pkla
[test]
Identity=unix-group:sudo
Action=org.debian.apt.update-cache
ResultActive=yes

Some things to check:

- Are the file name "test.pkla" and the group name "test" unique?

I think so. At least there are no other (.pkla) files in /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/*

- Does the unix group "sudo" exist, and are you a member thereof?

Yes.

- Has the action "org.debian.apt.update-cache" been defined? (Look under
   /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/.)

Yes, it's defined in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.apt.policy.

- Is dbus-daemon running during your Blackbox session?

Yes, my Blackbox session is started from ~/.xinitrc with the command

        exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch blackbox
