"Package: synaptic 0.75.2ubuntu4 [modified: usr/bin/synaptic-pkexec]" - Sorry about that - I did modify the script to see if for some odd reason /bin/sh was a factor and forgot to set straight before reporting. It isn't a factor here either way. Not having a policy file certainly is..

mc3man, com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic.policy definitely is in the package. You can verify by downloading the .deb from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/0.75.2ubuntu4/ and looking at it with file-roller (Archive Manager).

Oh, never mind. It is in the 64 bit build but not the x86 build.
