------- Comment #6 from lgt1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx  2007-02-05 05:51 MST -------
I'm embarrassed to say that my previous comment (#2) was in error. The
association of the avahi policy rule problem and polkitd crashing seems to have
been a coincidence. After removing avahi and rebooting everything was fine. I
have now double-checked by re-installing avahi and rebooting again. Although
the 'netdev' error message still appears, the PolicyKit daemon now starts
normally and I still have full access to removable devices etc. as before.

I guess some other, transient problem caused my polkitd to fail. The second
10.2 system I referred to turned out to have a known problem with kpowersave
(no response to power button press) and was not a policy kit or avahi error.

Sorry to have unnecessarily raised the importance of this bug - I don't usually
make this sort of mistake! I will monitor the behaviour of my system carefully
just in case the problem recurs, but it seems likely that avahi is off the
hook. Whether the missing netdev group causes operational problems for ekiga, I
don't know, but it's not a system critical package.
