Using Polkit auth sometimes fails with Unexpected change ID returned

[Will Cooke]

When testing the new polkit auth I /sometimes/ get an error in Software along the lines of:

Unexpected change ID returned

Is that still an issue?

James do you have any idea about this one?

in fact that looks like bug #1721740
