Mouting a disk or iso image asks for sudo password

Bug #1779238 reported by Laurent Dinclaux on 2018-06-29

Bug Description

* Impact
Users are prompted for an admin password to mount iso or disk images

* Test case
- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or double click as it is the default action)

-> the image should be mounted

* Regression potential
Make sure disks and images handling in the desktop still works

-------------------------

This issue is simple to reproduce on a fresh 18.04 install:

- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or double click as it is the default action)

and/or:

- issue the command `gnome-disk-image-mounter image.iso`

The resulting is a dialog asking for the user's password and the message "Authentification is required to modify the loop device /dev/loop22"

It is a show stopper for me as I use gnome-disk-image-mounter in an automated way.

This has been fixed upstream, see this patch https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/commit/b025f2bb2b148451417ae64a8c878ea4e6442a02 and this thread https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/546

It seems that it is now up to the Ubuntu's package maintainer to apply it to Ubuntu.

Hello Laurent, or anyone else affected,

Accepted udisks2 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/2.7.6-3ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I have re-uploaded it with a different version number. Wasn't really anything bad, it's just that we generally prefer to reserve the ~<series_number>.1 versioning notation for cases where the usual scheme doesn't quite work (or some special direct backports of new upstream versions). For single uploads like this it's just enough to use the regular SRU versioning.
