My problem started with being unable to start synaptic from the menu. So far, I have found out that synaptic is started with pkexec. When I test starting pkexec /usr/sbin/synaptic in a terminal, it asks for the password in text mode. With another test pkexec --disable-internal-agent /usr/sbin/synaptic in the terminal, it says it has not found any authentication agent. I have two AMD64 PC's and a i386 laptop. The problem occurs on one of the PC's and the laptop. Comparing the /etc directory trees of the PC's showed many differences, but I could not find anything suspicious about the polycikit configuration. For the moment, using gksu instead of pkexec is a workaround.
