Description:
Two similar packages installed for policykit, with different naming schemes. Additional info: * package version(s) * polkit 0.94-1 * polkit-gnome 0.94-1 * policykit 0.9-9 * policykit-gnome 0.9.2-4 Steps to reproduce: After update, I've got two similar packages on my computer: - polkit, which is needed by the following packages : :: consolekit: requiert polkit>=0.94 :: devicekit-disks: requiert polkit>=0.94 :: devicekit-power: requiert polkit>=0.94 :: gconf: requiert polkit>=0.94 :: polkit-gnome: requiert polkit>=0.94 :: system-tools-backends: requiert polkit>=0.94 -policykit, which is needed by the following packages : :: hal: requiert policykit>=0.9-6 :: polkit-qt: requiert policykit :: pulseaudio: requiert policykit As noted on the forum (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=644090#p644090), they do not reference the same policy rules. (As such, I'm unable to set policies for switching off the computer when multiple users are connected, with the gnome policykit interface) My guess is that policykit is due to be removed and replaced by polkit. But in the meanwhile the system-wide privileges are very difficult to manage ! Can someone tell me more about those packages ? What shall I do to have a functional privilege management ? |
