[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1143635: polkitd: Forky - root auth for progs like gparted synaptic etc. only works once after a reboot

[Rolf Heinrichs]

Package: polkitd
Version: 127-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: rolf.o1.heinrichs at gmx.net

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Installation of forky from daily build 05.08.26, German localisation/keyboard, X11/Lightdm/Cinnamon DE in VBox

The root auth works once after reboot, the second call brings no popup auth window, ends in processes running in the background:
>From ps -ax trying to start synaptic:
2638 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/synaptic-pkexec
2641 ?        Sl     0:00 pkexec /usr/sbin/synaptic 

Installed polkit related packages:
apt list -i *polkit*
gir1.2-polkit-1.0/testing,now 127-3 amd64  [Installiert,automatisch]
libpolkit-agent-1-0/testing,now 127-3 amd64  [Installiert,automatisch]

Thank you for looking at the issue.
