It would be really appreciated if someone could backport this to the 3.2.0 kernel series which the LTS is based on. For me the LTS Enablement Stack is buggy - samba segfaults continuously when running under the 3.5 Quantal kernel and Steam client is broken due to a dependency problem caused by

I think the problem is that even with the 'fix' there is no hard dependency on polkit-kde-1. Let's look at it logically: Muon is specifically designed to run on the desktops of unprivileged users and update their systems. To do that it needs root privileges and to get those it needs a mechanism
