[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#523646: [policykit-gnome] Crash: polkit-error.c:143:polkit_error_get_error_message():

[Carlos Moffat]

Package: policykit-gnome
Version: 0.9.2-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hi,

For a while now, I've seen a problem with several programs that are
crashing with policykit-related errors. For example:

polkit-gnome-authorization
[WARN 19548] polkit-error.c:143:polkit_error_get_error_message(): error
!= NULL
 Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

** (polkit-gnome-authorization:19548): WARNING **: Failed to initialize
PolicyKit context: (null)
[WARN 19548] polkit-error.c:156:polkit_error_free(): error != NULL
 Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

When I first login, several of these programs work fine, but after a
while they start crashing. Other affected programs are>

- nm-connection-editor (doesn't run)
- network-admin (runs, but doesn't let me unlock the dialog)

As far as I can tell, the only workaround is to log out and log in again.

Thanks.
Carlos
