[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#501576: libpolkit2: requires files from policykit, but doesn't declare that

[James Westby]

Package: libpolkit2
Version: 0.9-1
Severity: important
Forwarded: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17978

Hi,

A full description of the causes of the problem are given
in the upstream bug report:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17978


The summary is that if libpolkit2 is installed, but policykit
isn't, calls to polkit_context_init fail due to PolicyKit.conf
and other files not being present.

It may be that this is an upstream problem or a packaging
issue. I hope the maintainer will respond promptly to the issue.

Thanks,

James
