[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#809572: policykit-1: nm-connection-editor cannot edit or delete connections

[Nils Dagsson Moskopp]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-14
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

today I tried to run nm-connection-editor to view a password.
The password was for a wireless network, I input it yesterday.

I could not edit the connection in the nm-connection-editor:
The button to edit is was greyed out. I am using i3wm as WM.

I found that debian bug #804044 contains a working solution:
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804044#5>

I edited the following file (see attachment to the bug report):
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla
After I saved the file, the bug went away. I have no idea why!

I tried to find out which package the file does belong to.
I was unable to do so using the “apt-file search” command.
Therefore I am filing this bug against policykit-1 now.
