As in Summary, when systemd USE enabled for sway, it needs polkit to be present, otherwise starting sway ( for example by running `sway` in tty ) would fail due to no PolicyKit1 service not present Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove sys-auth/pokit 2. run `sway` in tty 3. notice start failure
sys-auth/elogind also has "policykit" USE flag, so possibly gui-wm/sway with USE="elogind" may need the same solution. - elogind? ( >=sys-auth/elogind-239 ) + elogind? ( >=sys-auth/elogind-239[policykit] ) - systemd? ( >=sys-apps/systemd-239 ) + systemd? ( >=sys-apps/systemd-239[policykit] )
ya, it sounds like this is needed, updated 9999 and 1.5.1-r1 to include the polkit flag

Hi, I'm using sway[elogind] on a system without PolicyKit. Not only does it work without PolicyKit installed, the new change breaks my system by forcibly pulling in PolicyKit...

Could you please explain how you get sway started without?
