[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#916075: policykit-1: autopkgtest regression

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of policykit-1 the autopkgtest of policykit-1 fails
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
policykit-1 from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:
                       pass            fail
policykit-1            from testing    0.105-23
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It seems the
same error can be found in the python-dbusmock regression due to this
update.

Currently this regression is NOT contributing to the delay of the
migration to testing [1] because of the urgency. Can you please
investigate the situation and fix it? If needed, please change the bug's
severity.
