Updated polkit package fixes restarting when updated

Publication date: 11 Oct 2015
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 5

Description

After applying the last polkit update from
http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2015-0262.html the polkit system
service was not restarted. Afterwards all authorisations handled by polkit
would fail, and e.g. users would be unable to run drakconf (MCC) from the
menu. The workaround was to restart the polkit service or to reboot. This
update rectifies that problem.
