Sorry for not looking at this yet. Note that bug 596260 is related.

Comment 4 André Klapper 2019-02-23 02:44:43 UTC

policykit-gnome is not under active development anymore.
Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/policykit-gnome/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather reactivate the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
