Package: pkexec
Version: 126-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Under cinnamon and Debian 13 after the last upgrade to version 126-2 calling
/usr/bin/pkexec doesn't show me anything.
Under Plasma or Gnome it works like expected and if I added the user to the
group sudo or calling 'sudo /usr/bin/pkexec' too.

I have no local policy rules added.
