Are there any plans to review and merge this change? I confirm it solved #17 for me (tested on Arch which comes with polkit 0.117-1) although I'm seeing another issue now when starting sway wm (see below) but maybe I just messed something up during configuration or installation.

Ping. i've applied this patch to polkit and now pkexec works properly https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/18012#issuecomment-962206634

Hi, @jrybar.
I noticed the same referenced issue with the Fedora i3 Spin, as Anaconda switched from consolehelper to polkit and the live CD doesn't use another polkit agent. Is there any chance you could have a look at this merge request? From what I understand NixOS successfully has been running polkit with this patch for a while, see the linked issue from @Artturin. I'm happy to verify if it worked or not. A simple example would include running pkexec true
without any other polkit agent. Thanks a lot for your effors working on polkit!

@emanuel0xb We ended up not merging the patch with the reasoning that we couldn't review it properly
it is a random patch of a security-critical component. I worry that it might compromise security.f
