Bug Description

On opening zuluCrypt-gui I am asked for (root) Authentication. If I don't provide the password I get an error:
Failed To Start Helper Application
"org.zulucrypt.zulupolkit.policy" polkit file is misconfigured,
zuluPolkit executable could not be found
or pkexec failed to start zuluPolkit

found the error
in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.zulucrypt.zulupolkit.policy
change
<allow_active>auth_self</allow_active>
to
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>

If this is a wanted behavior for unknown security reasons it should be documented.

Regards
