           Summary: ruby-polkit gives wrong answer
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2

I have an authorization for an action, as polkit-auth shows

# polkit-auth --user root --explicit-detail | grep -A4 services.read
org.opensuse.yast.system.services.read
  Authorized:  Yes
  Scope:       Indefinitely
  Obtained:    Tue May 26 09:35:49 2009 from root (uid 0)

(BTW the same fails if I run as non-root:
polkit-auth: NotAuthorizedToReadAuthorizationsForOtherUsers: uid 11018 is not
authorized to read all authorizations (requires
org.freedesktop.policykit.read))

But this program gives the wrong answer when I run it as non-root:

$ cat polkit_check.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require "polkit"
r = PolKit.polkit_check("org.opensuse.yast.system.services.read", "root")
print "#{r}\n"

# ./polkit_check.rb
yes
$ ./polkit_check.rb
no

I straced it and it looks only in /var/lib/PolicyKit-public whereas the
authorization is in /var/lib/PolicyKit. Maybe it is related to the exception
above but then I'd expect an error instead of a wrong answer.
