please provide the build.log it will be more helpful than anything else currently.
Created attachment 189163 [details] created a patch
Created attachment 189165 [details, diff] The first patch was done wrong, this should be fine
Created attachment 189174 [details] build.log
attached build.log
this patch is still wrong because we only want the dep when the policykit use flag is enabled but it's ok, we will handle it.
Ok, I am learning, could you put the correct patch here when you get it so I can see how it should be done.
Created attachment 189198 [details, diff] gnome-power-manager.patch here is what was missing.
and fixed without a bump. Thanks for reporting.
