Hello Ajeem, thank you for your contribution and taking time to improve Back In Time. I appreciate it. On a quick initial review your PR looks good. I'll review it in detail later. Please note that currently I have to put all PRs on hold, because the Back In Time code base is in a transition phase. I am rewriting the mounting subsystem from scratch (PR #2449). Since the components are not well isolated, this affects nearly every file. To avoid complex merge conflicts, all other PRs are temporarily on hold. Best wishes, |

Summary: Prevent a crash when the authentication dialog times out while saving udev scheduling rules.
What changed:
Why:
When the polkit password prompt times out, the D-Bus call returns NoReply. That exception was not handled in the udev setup path, so the Manage Profiles dialog crashed instead of reporting the failure gracefully.
Verification:
Note:
I could not fully reproduce the Linux polkit dialog flow on macOS, so this is a traceback-driven fix.
