Bug Description
* Impact
Users are prompted for an admin password to mount iso or disk images
* Test case
- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or double click as it is the default action)
-> the image should be mounted
* Regression potential
Make sure disks and images handling in the desktop still works
-------
This issue is simple to reproduce on a fresh 18.04 install:
- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or double click as it is the default action)
and/or:
- issue the command `gnome-
The resulting is a dialog asking for the user's password and the message "Authentification is required to modify the loop device /dev/loop22"
It is a show stopper for me as I use gnome-disk-

I have re-uploaded it with a different version number. Wasn't really anything bad, it's just that we generally prefer to reserve the ~<series_number>.1 versioning notation for cases where the usual scheme doesn't quite work (or some special direct backports of new upstream versions). For single uploads like this it's just enough to use the regular SRU versioning.

This has been fixed upstream, see this patch https:/ /github. com/storaged- project/ udisks/ commit/ b025f2bb2b14845 1417ae64a8c878e a4e6442a02 and this thread https:/ /github. com/storaged- project/ udisks/ issues/ 546
It seems that it is now up to the Ubuntu's package maintainer to apply it to Ubuntu.
