This is due to a change in the deps of sys-auth/polkit. Polkit is quite useless without consolekit-0.4 built with USE=policykit (In reply to comment #1) > This is due to a change in the deps of sys-auth/polkit.

Why does devicekit-power depend on policykit to begin with (without a "policykit" USE flag? sys-apps/devicekit-power-012-r1 (>=sys-auth/polkit-0.91) That effectively makes policykit mandatory, doesn't it? (Since devicekit-power is a dependency of gnome-session.) All the other components I have which may require polkit make it optional via a USE flag. ~ # equery depends polkit * Searching for polkit ... gnome-base/gconf-2.28.0-r1 (policykit ? sys-auth/polkit) gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.28.0 (policykit ? >=sys-auth/polkit-0.91) gnome-base/gnome-panel-2.28.0 (policykit ? >=sys-auth/polkit-0.91) sys-apps/devicekit-power-012-r1 (>=sys-auth/polkit-0.91) sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.1 (policykit ? >=sys-auth/polkit-0.92) (In reply to comment #3) > Wait.

And it's relatively low-priority for the GNOME herd to fix it since we have bigger problems and low manpower. Essentially; if you don't want to use polkit; patches are most welcome. *** Bug 296760 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
