[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#808087: applications requiring authentication ask for password for wrong user

[Brent S. Elmer]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-8
Severity: important

When I start packages that prompt for root password to start, the popup window
asks for the password for the wrong user(i.e. not root).  This happens with
several applications for example synaptic and virt-manager.
