Description Alexey Korepanov 2019-05-20 22:45:52 UTC 
I upgraded to polkit-0.116 and then was not able to use NetworkManager's nmappet : attempts to connect to wifi resulted in the error "Not authorized to control networking". System logs (/var/log/messages) are full of:

repeating every second.

Downgrading to polkit-0.115-r3 solved the problem right away.

Polkit was built with USE="consolekit introspection nls pam -elogind -examples -gtk -jit -kde (-selinux) -systemd -test".

I am on arm64 laptop, use openrc.

It is not quite clear to me how to debug this, but I would be happy to provide additional information.

are you still hitting this with 0.116-r1 and an updated system?
Comment 3 Alexey Korepanov 2019-12-14 13:26:09 UTC 
Hi. I updated the system, switched to systemd, and I do not observe this bug any more. I'm marking it as resolved.
