Description Coacher 2016-10-05 16:49:20 UTC 
Hello.

connman runs '$PKG_CONFIG --variable=actiondir polkit' to find the installed polkit[1]. sys-auth/polkit doesn't provide this .pc file and neither does upstream[2]. Thus I see the following message during configure even though polkit is installed:

Package polkit was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `polkit.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'polkit' found

connman should probe polkit-gobject-1 instead. Solution:

sed -i -e '/actiondir/s/polkit/polkit-gobject-1/' configure.ac || die

Please fix.

P.S. You have virtual/pkgconfig missing from DEPEND.

hi, coacher, your point make sense here!

I assume @nvinson234 will fix this along with bug 596270, let's give him a few time...
