Description Derk W te Bokkel 2011-10-18 19:26:52 UTC
polkit-gnome-0.104 drops support for polkit-gtk-1 co-install which gnome-system-tools requires

need to restrict polkit-gnome dependency to <polkit-gnome-0.104 in ebuild
Comment 1 Derk W te Bokkel 2011-10-18 19:39:54 UTC
that is for version gnome-system-tools-2.32.0

Hi Derk,

what should we do that gnome-system-tools is not broken after the installation of polkit-gnome-0.104?
I masked >=polkit-gnome-0.104. Do you know a better solution?
Comment 3 Derk W te Bokkel 2011-10-19 13:47:58 UTC
the fix has to be put into the gnome-system-tools ebuild by the gnome-herd developers  

.. but your temporary masking of polkit-gnome-0.104 effectively does the same thing until the fix is done.

I just quickly modified (a kludge) a copy of the existing ebuild which I added to my personal overlay.   more work but does not involve a mask.

I should also note this only occurs if the policykit USE flag is set.

A question for the developers .. is this tool going to disappear in gnome3?
Comment 4 Derk W te Bokkel 2011-10-19 13:57:43 UTC
I notice that redhat . debian and ubuntu package polkit-gtk separately for polkit-gnome under various similar names ..

A split ebuild based on the polkit-gnome-0.101 or 0.102 -source code for polkit-gtk-0.101 or 0.102 would work .. this should allow co-install of >=polkit-gnome-0.104 and polkit-gtk-* on the same machine.

I'll answer my own question .. yes there is a gnome-system-tools in gnome3 .. I can not determine if it still uses polkit-gtk-1
