[e-users] polkit problem

I'm having a problem with E's polkit module. I was running
pamac-manager and it asked for authentication. The password dialog box
popped up, i entered my password, but then got an authentication
failure error message.

There's some output in .e-log.log that looks relevant:

AUTH: POLKIT: [3-85675816164cbd241ec6e8b4f92b0e4f-3-a4ac0b07e510e40440dbf83b5e4bcfb8]
AUTH: UID: [1000]
AUTH: readpass...

AddressSanitizer can not provide additional info.

If i unload the polkit module and manually start
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 instead, and then try again,
everything works: i get a gnome password dialog box instead of an E
one, i enter my password, and pamac starts its update process.

I don't know when this problem may have started, as i rarely use
pamac. Hmm, it just occurred to me that gparted also asks for
authentication with polkit. Tried running that, and the same thing
happens. After entering my password, i get an E error dialog telling
me "Enlightenment was unable to run the application...". And there's
another, similar message in .e-log.log.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks,
-Conrad.
