Changes: 
 policykit (0.8-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge from debian unstable (LP: #232227), remaining changes:
     - debian/patches/ubuntu-admin-group.patch: Change PolicyKit.conf to use
       'admin' as administrator group, instead of the 'root' user. Also
       grant all permissions to root, since root is not in the admin group and
       is already almighty anyway. This unbreaks running tools like g-s-t as
       root.
     - debian/policykit.init: Create /var/run/PolicyKit if it does not exist.
       This happens if /var/run is on a tmpfs. Install it in debian/rules.
     - Add Breaks: policykit (<< 0.7) to libpolkit2.
     - debian/policykit.postinst: Drop the dpkg-statoverride and chown
       operations for /var/run/PolicyKit. /var/run is a tmpfs and thus
       volatile, stat overrides do not make sense on it, and it's the init
       script's job to properly set up the directory.
   * Disable debian/patches/02_noptrace.patch for now, since it prevents us
     from collecting crash reports for gnome-panel and other PK-using
     applications. This will be re-enabled again just before the intrepid
     release.
   * Drop debian/patches/03_readdir_filetype_unknown.patch as it is
     now fixed upstream.
   * Drop debian/patches/10_format-string-security.patch as it is now
     fixed upstream.
   * debian/policykit.postinst: change the permissions applied to some
     files to match what is now required upstream:
     - /var/lib/PolicyKit - Now owned by polkituser:polkituser and mode 770
     - /var/lib/PolicyKit-public - Now owned by polkituser and mode 755
     - /var/lib/misc/PolicyKit.reload - Now owned by polkituser and mode 755
     - /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-set-default-helper - Now owned by polkituser
       and mode 4755.
     - /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-resolve-exe-helper - Now in group polkituser
       and mode 4755
 .
 policykit (0.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium
