Package: policykit-1 Version: 0.105-15~deb8u1 Severity: critical Hi,
(ThinkPad laptop, MATE desktop, sysv init) After upgrading to policykit-1 from jessie-proposed-updates, my laptop suffered from several bugs in various parts of my desktop (hence the severity, feel free to downgrade if you think it's not justified): - laptop couldn't be shutdown from desktop (but this worked from console with the shutdown command); what happened was very weird, I could briefly see a popup probably asking me to swipe my finger (there was no password field), but it was shivering (like when a password or finger swipe is rejected) several times and then the desktop got back to lightdm - laptop couldn't be suspended from desktop; closing the lid or explicitly pressing the Fn-F4 key combo (the little moon) did activate the lock screen, but nothing else happened; no error in syslog, only some messages related to activating Fprint service; I didn't try to suspend from console (the command changed several times across the years, and I don't know what currently works on jessie without systemd), but I guess it should have worked, like shutdown - fingerprint reader didn't work from MATE lock screen (but did work from lightdm); I wasn't even prompted to swipe my finger, but directly to enter my password All these symptoms ceased when I downgraded policykit-1 *and* libpolikit-{agent,backend,gobject}-1-0 to the previous version from stable (0.105-8). Note that on this machine I have all proposed-updates and (I know it's not recommended, but it's for testing purposes) all backports; but it's really a jessie system, no testing/sid packages mixed in (I saw your comment in #760344).
