Bug Description

Hello,

not sure whether this is a bug or not. I'm doing continuous upgrades (not installing system from scratch), currently I use the latest devel version lucid.

I have problem with policykit. Both System->Administration->Authorizations and polkit-auth shows only the following items:
$ polkit-auth
org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.thinkfinger
org.freedesktop.policykit.read
org.freedesktop.policykit.revoke
org.freedesktop.policykit.grant
org.freedesktop.policykit.modify-defaults
$

thus mounting devices using:
devkit-disks --mount /dev/sdb1
Mount failed: Not Authorized

fails.

What went wrong? Am I missing some package (and thus that package should be added to dependency list)? Or my continuous upgrades failed somehow?

affects: ubuntu → policykit (Ubuntu)

In KDE, this is completely absent and I cannot get an answer as to how to launch it to give my user permissions do disks and such.
