Package: pkexec Version: 127-3 Severity: important Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, When trying to run synaptic-pkexec, the authentication doesn't work; met with the following error: ``` ** (process:4867): WARNING **: 19:38:27.478: Unknown line 'polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie' from helper ==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ==== Error executing command as another user: Not authorized This incident has been reported. ``` I found this issue on github: https://github.com/polkit-org/polkit/issues/686, so it is known to the upstream developers, and I am reporting it to let know that it does affect the current version in debian testing. Downgrading from 127-3 to 126-2 did fix it. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 7.1.8+deb14.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages pkexec depends on: ii libc6 2.43-3 ii libglib2.0-0t64 2.89.4-2 ii libpam0g 1.7.0-8 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 127-3 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 127-3 ii polkitd 127-3 pkexec recommends no packages. pkexec suggests no packages.
