[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#729190: Dialog ineffective: vague wording, omits the application, click on action does nothing

[Steve M. Robbins]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-4
Severity: normal

Suddenly I got the dialog shown in attached image.  I have no idea how
I'm expected to judge whether or not I should enter the root password.

1. The main text refers vaguely to "an application" and "an action".
2. In the details: 
   a) still no application; and 
   b) the action is named, but is meaningless to me.
3. The tooltip for the action value indicates it can be edited; however clicking does nothing.
