Public bug reported:
pkexec fails with the error:
ERROR:pkexec.c:138:pam_conversation_function: code should not be reached
in up-to-date Ubuntu 11.10. I have taken a look to the source code and it seems
related to the fake conversation function used when PAM is invoked
(pkexec.c:160 in packaged sources -.orig-). In my system I have a fprint PAM
module to authenticate, but it also fails after disabling it.
Policykit authentication other than pkexec seems to work properly. A look at
polkitagenthelper-pam.c shows that a proper concersation function is used.
I guess a similar function could be used for pkexec, but I have not enough
skills on pam/policykit to address this.
Thanks in advance
Vreixo
