Hm. You can (try to) install a specific version with sudo apt-get install --reinstall policykit-1=<your-version-number-here> but note two things: your apt source might not always carry that (you have checked for that) and you're moving yourself into more and more trouble, as your package set becomes more and more complex. This isn't bad per se, but be prepared to learn some things about packaging and dependencies :-) Cheers -- t
