[BRLTTY] problem with brltty and polkit

I am running brltty on archlinux.
Text mode works fine, but brlapi which orca needs does not appear to work 
anymore.
It worked in 5.4.
When I start the daemon I get:

--log--
Apr 27 15:15:14 io.coolip.net brltty[383]: BrlAPI Server: release 0.6.6
Apr 27 15:15:14 io.coolip.net brltty[383]: unknown 
authentication/authorization method: polkit
Apr 27 15:15:14 io.coolip.net brltty[383]: Unable to start auth server
--endlog--
I have the file org.a11y.brlapi.policy in /usr/share/polkit1/actions
When I manually build the package, I can see that polkit support appears 
to be included as the config.log says it is.
Any suggestions about how to fix this would be helpful.
