Public bug reported:

Lubuntu 11.10 64bit When I try to run Synaptic from menu, nothing goes on. I 
can authenticate and run the program only in console since recently. 
Here is some information I have in .xsession-errors:
** (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1282): WARNING **: Unable to register 
authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: 
Cannot determine user of subject
Cannot register authentication agent: 
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Cannot determine user of 
subject
and also
** (pcmanfm:2278): DEBUG: launch command: <synaptic-pkexec>
** (pcmanfm:2278): DEBUG: sn_id = 
pcmanfm-2278-machine-synaptic-pkexec-30_TIME13191945
Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling 
terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address
If I re-install sudo or dbus packages, and reboot the system, then everything 
is okay, but it helps only until I reboot the computer the second time. So it 
helps only during one session.
