OS: Fedora 34; Environment: Wayland; Component: polkit-0.117-3.fc34.x86_64.

• Polkit no more allow to invoke admin:// in Gnome 's file manager – Nautilus (nautilus-40.0-1.fc34.x86_64) – like it used to.

Once Nautilus has been started, type Ctrl + L to edit the resource path. Attempt: admin:///home

$ nautilus
(org.gnome.Nautilus:19284): GVFS-WARNING **: 12:36:30.111: The peer-to-peer connection failed: Could not connect: Permission denied. Falling back to the session bus. Your application is probably missing --filesystem=xdg-run/gvfsd privileges.

• Obsolete URL present in RPM package | Page redirected to: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/

  $ rpm -qi polkit | grep ^URL

I'm experiencing this in gedit 3.38.1 on Ubuntu 21.04, as well.
