Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-14
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
today I tried to run nm-connection-editor to view a password.
The password was for a wireless network, I input it yesterday.
I could not edit the connection in the nm-connection-editor:
The button to edit is was greyed out. I am using i3wm as WM.
I found that debian bug #804044 contains a working solution:
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804044#5>
I edited the following file (see attachment to the bug report):
/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pkla
After I saved the file, the bug went away. I have no idea why!
I tried to find out which package the file does belong to.
I was unable to do so using the “apt-file search” command.
Therefore I am filing this bug against policykit-1 now.

What desktop environment are you using?
If it's not GNOME or KDE, you should install policykit-1-gnome and
ensure that the policykit agent is started when you log into your
desktop session.

Michael
