 Due to a bug in dbus-glib-0.82 (fdo #23297), PolicyKit-gnome
 would fail all authorization checks.  However, PK-gnome was using
 and outdated method for talking to PolicyKit.  This update moves
 PK-gnome over to the preferred method (which has shipped in PolicyKit
 for over a year) and thus avoids the problem.  Without this update,
 programs like nm-connection-editor and polkit-gnome-authorization
 may fail to allow any privileged operations.

Comment (by jkeating):

 Please hold on tagging this, as I believe we already have the golden
 package set for the F12 Alpha release candidate.
