[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1041228: policykit-1: Polkit fails if more than one rule is defined in /usr/local/share/polkit-1

[Stepan Novotny]

Package: polkitd
Version: 122-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I created /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-shutdown.rules and this worked fine:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if (action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions' &&  subject.isInGroup('Debian-gdm'))
   return polkit.Result.YES; else return polkit.Result.NOT_HANDLED;
});

Then I added a second file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-power-off.rules and both failed to work:
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
   if (action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions' &&  subject.isInGroup('Debian-gdm'))
   return polkit.Result.YES; else return polkit.Result.NOT_HANDLED;
});

I found that either one of the above files by itself works fine, but it fails if both files are present.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I also found that combining my two files into a single file as shown below, does not work either, but that the syntax of my files is acceptable in accordance with other example found by Google.
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if ((action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions' ||
   action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions' ||
   action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions' ||
   action.id == 'org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions') &&
   subject.isInGroup('Debian-gdm'))
   return polkit.Result.NO; else return polkit.Result.NOT_HANDLED;
});


   * What was the outcome of this action?
I am currently running only one of my two files, and await a fix.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I await a fixed policykit-1 package, and will try again when available.
