I imagine the difference between versions of Ubuntu and therefore Policykit are causing this, as it will not build either. Can the patch please be updated for Ubuntu 12.04 x86? Without it I am still stuck with the behaviour I originally reported in bug

I have the same problem when clicking on Cancel. polkit-agent-helper-1 hangs out and must be killed using the console. Does anyone know if Cancel hangs out too when using the official non-patched version of the program ? If yes, I will investigate further how my patch could hang the program. If

The easiest way is to recompile the policykit-1 package so as you may install or uninstall the locally patched package using dpkg later on. To do so you may follow this procedure: 1- Install development tools: sudo apt-get install devscripts build-essential 2- Check that source repositories
