[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#546044: policykit-gnome: authorization dialog does not appear

[Andrea De Iacovo]

Package: policykit-gnome
Version: 0.9.2-2
Severity: important

Hello

When trying to apply any change (clicking on the apply button) in 
polkit-gnome-authorization nothing happens: no dialog prompting for password
or reporting an error appears.
Launching the program in a terminal and clicking the apply button I obtain this:

** (polkit-gnome-authorization:4166): WARNING **: Caught error: Method "ObtainAuthorization" with signature "suu" on interface "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent" doesn't exist


Regards.

Andrea De Iacovo
