Bug 352970 – sys-auth/polkit-kde-0.95.1 does no compile with polkit-qt-0.99.0(masked) sugest put rdepend <=sys-auth/polkit-qt-0.99

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description jms 2011-01-27 16:31:09 UTC]

polkit-kde-0.95.1 does no compile with polkit-qt-0.99.0
polkit-qt-0.99.0 is actually masked.
looks like some change in new version of polkit mean that future version won't
compile with version >=polkit-qt-0.99
sugest to prevent future problem (when we have >=polkit-qt-0.9* unmasked)
to amend rdepend ebuild for polkit-qt
and put
<=polkit-qt-0.99


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.unmask polkit-qt-0.99.0
2.emerge polkit-kde-0.95.1
3.

Actual Results:  
fail to compile


portage should not  allow  polkit-kde-0.95.1 to work with version >=polkit-qt-0.99
in future (no problem now as >=polkit-qt-0.99 is masked)
this might lead to problem in future as >=polkit-qt-0.9* is unmasked

The intended fix may be to remove polkit-kde and install polkit-kde-agent instead.  That's what seems to solve the issue here.

yes removing the blocker ->polkit-kde is the solution

It seems that polkit-kde and polkit-kde-agent are mutually exclusive.

I guess polkit-kde-agent replace polkit-kde.
It would be nice to have some info about this (if above supposition correct) when emerging or maybe in kde howto.

Proper blockers have been added to polkit-kde.

[Comment 4 Andreas K. Hüttel 2011-03-27 14:24:51 UTC]

Maybe we should add this info somewhere in the upgrade docs.

[Comment 5 Andreas K. Hüttel 2011-04-25 20:57:03 UTC]

Nothing to do here anymore.

[Comment 6 Massimo Burcheri 2011-10-13 10:50:56 UTC]

Without changing this status I like to mention,
this blocking still exists on PPC as long as sys-auth/polkit-kde-agent doesn't get the ppc keyword -> KDE-4 stable is not possible on PPC

[blocks B      ] >=sys-auth/polkit-qt-0.99 (">=sys-auth/polkit-qt-0.99" is blocking sys-auth/polkit-kde-0.95.1-r1)

while no polkit is installed:
# eix -I polkit
No matches found.

I keyworded sys-auth/polkit-kde-agent, still testing it and going to request keyword for ppc.
