@Patrick, upgrading to the point release 15.0.0.8.9 in-place, this bug is back again (even in my existing upgraded in-place system in which I had already applied my own manual fix).
I cannot install DEB files with GDebi, cannot launch Synaptic, and ZuluCrypt error at launch.
Investigating my own (re)solution right now and will report back.
Update: This bug is now worse than it was before, and I cannot find a fix. This is all tested on multiple fresh 15.0.0.8.9 OVAs out of the box.
My previous fix of changing ‘auth_admin’ (or ‘no’) to ‘yes’ in various policykit files in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/ no longer works. (What is overriding that?)
If I apply this fix from Patrick: cannot use pkexec - #21 by Patrick
- Synaptic works.
- ZuluCrypt works.
- But Gdebi NOT fixed. (This is the one a lot of people are used to.) Bad errors.
Not to mention other packages like KDE Partition Manager. Now I can’t use that application either.
