I am not sure there is anything more we can do with this report then. There
isn't enough information to debug it and if you no longer have access...

So I propose to close.

If it recurs and you can provide more information, do reopen.

For future reference

 dpkg -l | grep 'elogind\|consolekit'

will identify which session management a system is using.

Thanks

Mark

Dear Maintainer,

Plugging an USB stick makes polkit ask for root password.

Manually modifying rules in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.UDisks2.policy works
-- ie USB stick is mounted seamlessly (no user/root passwd asked)
However, copying this above file to /etc/polkit-1/actions/ --to make modification survive updates-- does not work.

Also, instead of modifying org.freedesktop.UDisks2.policy, I found this working solution here : https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=7848#p7848
