Not sure whether removing files that came with distro packages is the best idea long term. I think a better option would be to drop in a custom rule that runs before the default ones. As usual ArchWiki has some examples: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit#Administrator_identities
Specifically, if I'm reading this right, putting the following rule in /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/00-override.rules should be enough: /* Always authenticate Admins by prompting for the root * password, similar to the rootpw option in sudo */ polkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) { return ["unix-user:root"]; }); Having this it's easy to build a package that can be later distributed to other workstations. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850977 Title: Snap installs software without user having sudo access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1850977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
