When trying to emerge app-admin/packagekit-base I get the error that the linker cannot find -lpolkit-backend-1. I remerged sys-auth/polkit, with no difference. A pkg-config file (/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/polkit-backend-1.pc) is available, but not a corresponding library file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure that policykit USE-flag is enable for app-admin/packagekit-base 2. emerge -1 packagekit-base Actual Results: Build failure: ...

Looks like the .pc file is cruft and the library was punted in purpose: "Nuke polkitbackend library, localauthority backend and extension system": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/polkit/commit/src/polkitbackend/Makefile.am?id=0f830c76048229895164837f8ce01869d88a2616 Reported now here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51466 Moving to packagekit-base maintainers since according to the upstream commit they should now implement their own JavaScript based version (?)
