Bug Description

I am the author of Xfe and the package (version 1.45) distributed with Ubuntu 23.04 (and Debian) is faulty, because the file org.xfe.root.policy is missing in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions. This file is indeed required for root authentication with pkexec (this is a new feature in Xfe 1.45).

The consequence is that the root mode with pkexec authentication does not work.

The missing file is present in the original mainstream tarball.

I tried to contact the Debian package maintainer for several weeks with no answer from him.
