[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#825956: policykit-1: greyed out reboot, shutdown, hibernate with 0.105-15~deb8u1, but 0.105-8 is ok

[Jeffrey Sheinberg]

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

Dear Maintainer,

The LXDE and lightdm "logout" menu items for reboot, shutdown, hibernate
are greyed out or missing after upgrading from policykit-1 0.105-8 to
policykit 0.105-15~deb8u1.

After downgrading from policykit 0.105-15~deb8u1 back to policykit-1
0.105-8, the menu items are no longer greyed out or missing, and are fully
functional again.

Here is a listing of what is now installed and working correctly,

  $ dpkg-query -l policykit-1 libpolkit-\*
