Description:
Trying to use gparted fails with polkit set up and all of gparted's [opt] dependencies. It fails since it explicitly needs a GRAPHICAL polkit agent, and explicitly disables the one built into polkit. This package should depend on something like `polkit-graphical-agent`, and all agents should have a `provide=` entry for this too (or something along these lines). As-is right now, installing the package won't really work since it's missing a dependency ("any graphical polkit agent"). There's quite a few options that work for this. This is also what upstream states, this is a necessary dependency: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/issues/104#note_842054 Additional info: * package version(s) 1.1.0-1 |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: Most desktop environments provide a graphical polkit agent, custom ones need to be configured properly.

So I would close this as "not a bug".
