Being somewhat of an impatient masochist, I created this symlink to allow the package to finish installing:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 -> /usr/libexec/polkit-agent-helper-1Then I rebooted and found a lot of stuff not working or working really slowly and systemd complaining it couldn't find polkitd. So I made another symlink and rebooted:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd -> /usr/libexec/polkitdOh, and in case it's unclear or something gets lost in translation, I highly recommend against the symlink hacking unless you've already upgraded and have a dysfunctional system.

Already upgraded , and found :
set S bit for pkexec and polkit-agent-helper-1 solved the problem for me
chmod +s /usr/libexec/polkit-agent-helper-1
[/color][/size]chmod +s /usr/bin/pkexec[/font]

You (and others) are welcome. I'm glad you folks saw it before jumping in. The maintainer said he was working on the fix, so it should come later today.

Confirmed -- the fixed package is now available to North American users. I just completed full-upgrade on two systems and had no problems of any kind.

A question, if we who made the links and chmod, do we have to undo them, or is it enough to update?

I removed my links when the new version came out. I recommend you do the same. They shouldn't hurt anything, but they're not compliant with Debian Filesystem Hierarchy, and it's the type of thing that can cause strange issues in the future after you've long forgotten about it.
As for chmod/permissions, make sure they look like the following. The fixed version of policykit should take have taken care of it for you:
Code: [Select]
# ls -l /usr/libexec/polkit-agent-helper-1
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 19040 Jul 17 04:49 /usr/libexec/polkit-agent-helper-1
