Looks like duplicates of #646521 which so far seems to be amd64 specific.

Alberto, Randy, could you please try the following:
Kill the running polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 process.
Start /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
from a shell.
Try to authenticate
Check if polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 crashes, attach the output.

What kind of login manager are you using? What's the output of
ck-list-sessions?
Which desktop environment do you use?

Michael
