Hi,

I have no consistent way to reproduce, but the Ubuntu bug report
was very "popular" indeed, with many duplicates.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/649939 for where
I worked with Jean-Baptiste to find the patch, and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/445303 for the bug that received most of the attention.

There was a theoretical race that I found via code inspection, and a
patch to remove it was confirmed to fix the issue with someone who
could reliably reproduce. Unless you know that the g_source functions
remove the race, then I think you should apply the patch.

Thanks,

James
