[Alberto Salvia Novella <es20490446e@xxxxxxxxx>]

** Description changed:

- After a new install of 64 bit Ubuntu 13.10 on my second partition, I
- used dpkg to reinstall all the same packages I had on my 32 bit 13.04
- partition.  I copied all my home directory files over and updated all
- the packages.  I now find that I don't have permissions to change the
- network settings; I can't mount my other hard drive or any USB stick
- using nautilus, or (udisks without using sudo)' I can't run synaptic by
- clicking on the GUI (I have to go to a terminal and sudo synaptic); etc.
- I can't find any documentation on the configuration of policykit-
- desktop-privileges, so I'm filing this bug.  For me it appears to be
- totally broken.  Maybe someone can help me out.
+ HOW TO REPRODUCE:
+ - Upgrade Ubuntu to the next release.
  
- Thanks,
- 
- Rob
+ RESULT:
+ - The user looses permissions for several basic actions in the system.
