Created attachment 124313 [details] revert code to fix pkexec requesting root authentication
After updating to 5.17.4 no program using pkexec requesting root authentication would work. Reverted the change to fix it for us.

Is this still a problem for unpatched Plasma 5.21? It's working fine for me in openSUSE Tumbleweed.
