@melon.sp4nk: the status change to "fix commited" should be made when
the error is fixed in the package itself, instead of that manual
workaround (anyway, thanks for it!), as a less experienced user can have
problems with it.

Annotating the workaround in the bug's description and setting status
back to new.

** Changed in: policykit (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Committed => New

** Description changed:

+ WORKAROUND: sudo rm /etc/*.lock (thanks to melon.sp4nk)
