Did you do something to your system just before this started to happen? If you strred your system with arootstick, playing whack-a-mole with the aftereffects isn't worth the effort.

This is the solution I came up with and tried, and it seemed to work, not sure why the perms changed on this file though :(:
sudo chmod 7755 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1
I also saw a version that tried: sudo chmod +s ... but I didn't like the file permissions, so I opted to mirror the other permissions for the files in /usr/lib/policykit-1/
