The oldstable distribution (lenny) does not contain the policykit-1 package. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.96-4+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.101-4. We recommend that you upgrade your policykit-1 packages.
