Binary package hint: devicekit-disks

On Karmic, after I insert a disc and it automounts, the eject button on the drive doesn't work. If I eject through Nautilus, I am prompted for my password with the following message:

Authentication is required to umount devices mounted by another user
An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action.

Password: ____

And under details:

Drive: Slimtype DVD A DS8A1P (CX12)
Device: /dev/sr0
Action: org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-unmount-others
Vendor: The DeviceKit Project

After supplying my password, the disc ejects.

I see two things going wrong here. First, it thinks somebody else mounted the disc, but I was the only one logged in when I inserted the disc. Second, it refers to org.freedesktop.devicekit, which does not exist in the Authorizations control panel, so I can't grant that privilege to everyone automatically.

devicekit-disks versions 005-0ubuntu7 and 006-0ubuntu1 are both affected.
