Description Daniel Nicoletti 2009-08-19 09:16:51 UTC

For some reason pkexec does not work here (polkitd1) is running, I'm using Debian, and my friend using arch or gentoo had the same problem.
Polkid1 almost works with tools like packagekit but i'll open another bug report to that problem

Comment 1 Michael Biebl 2009-08-25 07:20:02 UTC

I traced this down to a bug in glibc < 2.10

Imo this bug can be closed

Comment 2 Daniel Nicoletti 2009-08-25 07:36:00 UTC

Ok,
thanks Michael, for debugging it to glibc, I'm closing since it's not a libpolkitbug.
