Description:

pkexec command is not working, and always

Additional info:
* package version(s) : polkit 0.113-2-x86_64
* config : no specific configuration ; pkexec was working before updating my system.

Steps to reproduce:

run (as normal user) :

pkexec ls

If a wrong password is entered, I get the "wrong password" dialog box after one second, as expected.
But if the right root password is entered, I get the same "wrong password" dialog box, immediately (without one-second delay).
This task depends upon

did you reload the polkit daemon after upgrading?

No ; I've just restarted it with systemctl and it now works well.

Thank you !
