Dear Fred, please just have patience :) We don't need a duct-tape fix, rather one that works for everybody and does not need any manual intervention. That's mostly a matter of rebuilding the relevant packages (elogind + polkit-1-* stuff) for ceres and then let them percolate to beowulf. For the moment, pinning those packages to the ascii version seems to be a suitable fix. We are getting there. Stay tuned.
