[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#775158: policykit-1: memory leak in polkit_authority_enumerate_actions_finish DBUS call results handler

[Stephen Dowdy]

Is this fix going to be released for Jessie?  I don't see it in
jessie-proposed-updates, and it (i presume) is SEVERELY affecting some of
my users:

System with default setup (80+% of 32GB RAM consumed by 'kded4' process)
# ps -o "pid:6,ppid:6,%mem:4,rss:8,size:8=SSZ,sz:8=PSZ,vsize:8,args:20"
$(pgrep kded4)
   PID   PPID %MEM      RSS      SSZ      PSZ      VSZ COMMAND
  1341      1 82.0 27030540 31969276  8150825 32603300 kdeinit4: kded4
[kdeinit]

​System where i've had user install a powerdevil.desktop service override
disable file​

# ps -o "pid:6,ppid:6,%mem:4,rss:8,size:8=SSZ,sz:8=PSZ,vsize:8,args:20"
$(pgrep kded4)
   PID   PPID %MEM      RSS      SSZ      PSZ      VSZ COMMAND
  1337      1  0.2    70972  2221556   710202  2840808 kdeinit4: kded4
[kdeinit]

​FWIW, including disabler script for user override (in lieu of doing at the
system level) in case anyone is interested.  Dunno if this is the best way
for users to disable powerdevil, but "It Works For Me(tm)"

thanks,
