[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#776029: udisks2: "Authentication is required to update SMART data" dialog repeated over and over again

[C. Scott Ananian]

Package: udisks2
Version: 2.1.4-1
Severity: important

I just did an aptitude upgrade (to latest Debian/unstable) and now I'm
getting an annoying modal dialog prompting for my password
("Authentication is required to update SMART data from XXXXX (/dev/sda)")
about every five seconds.  How do I make this stop?

I tracked down the message to this package, and I tried updating
to the Debian/experimental version of the package.  No luck.
Help!
