[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#799551: libpolkit-gobject-1-0: should make sure that backend has same version

[Michael Below]

Package: libpolkit-gobject-1-0
Version: 0.105-12
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

two days ago, I installed updates on my Debian testing system that
made polkit unusable. At first I noticed this when another one of
the updates, cups-browsed, wouldn't install because it couldn't
connect to polkit. When I started the system the next day, nothing
could connect to polkit and gdm login failed. I noticed that the
-backend package of libpolkit was version 0.105, while the
-gobject and -client packages were versions 0.110. (Maybe those
higher versions came in through dependencies when i installed a few
packages from experimental some time ago.)

Today I have downgraded those packages to 0.105, and polkit seems
to be working again.

I think the package dependencies need to be stricter, to make sure
the backend has the same version.

Thanks for your work!

Cheers
Michael
