I ran into two problems with polkit. First, the default instructions failed to make the man pages because I had a problem with my xml configuration.
/usr/bin/xsltproc -nonet --stringparam man.base.url.for.relative.links /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/polkit-1/ --xinclude http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl polkit.xml warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"; cannot parse http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl I can bypass this with --disable-man-pages, and fixing the xml configuration also worked. However we may want to add --disable-man-pages as a part of the default instructions. On the other hand, we do say that docbook-xml and docbook-xsl are required if libsxlt is installed and that may be enough. It *is* reasonable to assume that dependent packages are installed properly (which mine weren't). Second, I get a test failure: /PolkitBackendJsAuthority/get_admin_identities: Error getting system bus: Could not connect: No such file or directoryError loading /var/run/ConsoleKit/database: Error statting file /var/run/ConsoleKit/database: No such file or directory ** (/tmp/polkit/polkit-0.106/test/polkitbackend/.libs/lt-polkitbackendjsauthoritytest:98 I have not installed consolekit. Is it a runtime dependency that needs to be mentioned? Note that I am building KDE and consolekit is only mentioned in kde4workspace, but policykit is needed for polkit-qt. KDE requires Polkit-Qt requires Polkit ... requires Kde-workspace recommended ConsoleKit -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
