--- Begin Message ---Package: policykit-1 Version: 0.113-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, Following a recent update, launching Synaptic through the menu system fails silently. 'sudo synaptic' at the command line launches Synaptic as expected. Executing 'synaptic-pkexec' (as in '/usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop', and providing the correct password, produces the following: ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic === Authentication is required to run the Synaptic Package Manager Authenticating as: Brian Vaughan,,, (brian) Password: polkit-agent-helper-1: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure ==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED === Error executing command as another user: Not authorized This incident has been reported. This appeared with policykit-1 0.105-17. I tried installing 0.113-5 from experimental, but the behavior remained the same. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages policykit-1 depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii dbus 1.10.12-1 ii libc6 2.24-5 ii libexpat1 2.2.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.1-1 ii libmozjs185-1.0 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-5 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-6 ii libpam-systemd 231-9 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.3 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.113-5 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.113-5 ii libsystemd0 231-9 policykit-1 recommends no packages. policykit-1 suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/40-debian-sudo.rules [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/40-debian-sudo.rules' /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules' -- no debconf information
