I'm afraid I have no further information on what may have caused this to occur.

/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-admin --help

fails reproducibly for me with:

--- begin quote ---
restricteduser@computer:~$ /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-admin --help

** (process:28333): ERROR **: 13:38:57.520: gvfsd-admin must be executed under pkexec
Trace/breakpoint trap

--- end quote ---

If run with pkexec it returns the --help output properly.

Right, that seems suboptimal/should be sent upstream on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/issues

[Tom Reynolds (tomreyn)]

Thanks Sebastien, I've filed it at Gnome's Gitlab and added the bug tracker.
