[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#541712: libdbus-glib-1-2: Since 0.82-1, nm-connection-editor fails to modify system connections

[Itaï BEN YAACOV]

Package: libdbus-glib-1-2
Version: 0.82-1
Severity: normal


Since libdbus-glib-1-2 was upgraded to 0.82-1, nm-connection-editor fails
to modify system connections.  Instead of asking for root password it
does nothing and prints

** (nm-connection-editor:12150): WARNING **: Caught error: Method "ObtainAuthorization" with signature "suu" on interface "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent" doesn't exist

Downgrading libdbus-glib-1-2 to 0.80 solves the problem.

(see bug #540421 filed against network-manager-gnome, I do not know
how to reassign bugs..)

Cheers,
Itai BEN YAACOV.
