It won't break anything. /etc/polkit-1 is installed by make install then (though it now belongs to root, nothing bad is happening). It seems polkit does not need a home directory for its user at all.

I can't reproduce this. On my system and rivendell it works perfectly. I believe the OP mistyped the command somehow (for example, missed the space between x86_64 and ]). -- Xi Ruoyao <xry...@mengyan1223.wang> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
