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 lxde-base/lxpolkit Looks like in addition to this, it looks to me as though lxpolkit has been superseded by lxsession, which provides /usr/bin/lxpolkit so, lxde-base/lxpolkit is obsolete anyway.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