Hi, Looking in to this a bit more it seems that new versions of PolicyKit play havoc with system-tools-backends until the dbus is restarted.
I'm wary of uploading a new version which would trigger this. I have emailed the author about what the problem could be, in which case we can try and fix system-tools-backends. However, the permissions fixes are important, as I don't think PolicyKit will work correctly without them. The alternative to waiting, or uploading and not caring, is to repeat what I mistakenly thought the solution was last time, and rebuild system-tools-backends at the same time, which would mean that most users would get both updates at once, and not see a problem. The last solution would be to restart system-tools-backends from policykit's postinst, but I'm not sure that's necessarily wise. Any suggestions welcome, Thanks, James -- Please merge policykit 0.8-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
