This is a fix for the issue #630
If think that on Fedora, polkit detect that the subprocess
compare.py
is created and to avoid security issue it is killed.However, if we run this subprocess through a shell instance, this is no more a problem.
So this fix is not really clean, but it works.
In order to provide a proper solution, I think we need to investigate polkit to create a policy or something like that. But personally, I don't know anything about it, and this seems complex. It is also possible that there is no such thing and that it is simply a bug.
I made the modification from the tag of the current version of Howdy: v2.6.1.
In order to provide this fix for Fedora users we have several choices:
fedora-polkit
branch of my fork, which is temporarily used as source. The version on Fedora would become 2.6.1-7
