Comment 1 Martin Milata 2013-11-29 16:41:35 UTC 
Note to self: might not be relevant, but python-slip was updated to 0.6.0 in F20.
Comment 2 Martin Milata 2014-01-21 09:44:02 UTC 
I probably used X11 forwarding through SSH. Policykit probably doesn't work with this setup resulting in authorization error.
Comment 3 Martin Milata 2014-01-21 10:12:13 UTC 
Eh, solution is to run polkit agent first in the SSH session.

Nevertheless, s-c-kdump still fails with "Unable to handle kdump services".

Called command:
/usr/bin/systemctl enable kdump
Standard error:
Failed to issue method call: Access denied
Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2014-01-24 13:09:38 UTC 
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Comment 5 Martin Milata 2014-05-12 15:20:25 UTC 
Works on F20 now.
