If I can add 1cent, if you encounter any problem in upgrading, please include the following information in your report: - desktop environment you are using; - whether the corresponding task-*-desktop was installed or not before you upgraded; - whether you had consolekit and/or elogind installed in the system *before* and *after* the upgrade; - the list of libpolkit-* packages installed in the system *before* and *after* the upgrade; Now is the time to help out. A usual, having a clean release depends on each of us, the D1rs.
