Description Adam Feldman gentoo-dev 2016-06-17 18:53:36 UTC
From profiles/package.mask:

# Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> (03 Mar 2014)
# gnome-extra/polkit-gnome is the "GTK+ polkit agent" and has no extra
# dependencies that installing lxde-base/lxpolkit would solve, thus
# the only motivation for creation of lxpolkit was to drop the word
# 'gnome' from the package's name. The packages are near identical
# by the outlook, determined by the used GTK+ theme.
#
# Raise yourself above the word 'gnome' and install the de facto GTK+ agent:
# emerge -C lxpolkit
# emerge -1 polkit-gnome
#
# Removal will happen at later date, but since there is no hurry, give it
# until rest of the year.
lxde-base/lxpolkit



Looks like in addition to this, it looks to me as though lxpolkit has been superseded by lxsession, which provides /usr/bin/lxpolkit so, lxde-base/lxpolkit is obsolete anyway.

So, since lxde-base/lxpolkit is old, obsolete, masked for removal over 2 years ago, requesting that it be reconsidered to actually be removed now.

Thanks!

Also, sys-auth/polkit needs to be cleaned up. It contains logic referencing
lxpolkit::

PDEPEND="
        gtk? ( || (
                >=gnome-extra/polkit-gnome-0.105
                lxde-base/lxpolkit
                ) )
