Sure enough, if I change brltty to use the brlapi.key file, it works fine.
I would like to get the polkit working, however.
Thanks for your suggestion, as I can at least use it while I try to figure
out the correct fix for polkit.

Dear Kelly,
Kelly Prescott (2017/04/27 15:50 -0500):
I am running brltty on archlinux.
Text mode works fine, but brlapi which orca needs does not appear to work
anymore.
It worked in 5.4.
When I start the daemon I get:
--log--
Apr 27 15:15:14 io.coolip.net brltty[383]: BrlAPI Server: release 0.6.6
Apr 27 15:15:14 io.coolip.net brltty[383]: unknown
authentication/authorization method: polkit
Apr 27 15:15:14 io.coolip.net brltty[383]: Unable to start auth server
--endlog--
I have the file org.a11y.brlapi.policy in /usr/share/polkit1/actions
When I manually build the package, I can see that polkit support appears to
be included as the config.log says it is.
But then, is it the brltty you have just built that you are running, or
another one?
If it is the one you have just built and if, once it is run it can't
find polkit while configure seemed happy, could it be that the polkit
daemon has not been started on your system?
Any suggestions about how to fix this would be helpful.
I know nothing about polkit unfortunately so I can't help much more with
this.
Another route you could try is using a different authentication method.
For instance, you could run brltty with arguments -A auth=none to
disable authentication completely.
Shérab.
