Source: gparted Version: 1.0.0-0.1 Severity: normal Mark Hindley encuraged me to send this bug report even though I had certain reserves.
gparted up to version 0.32.0-2 could have been installed without policykit and the full dependencies up to systemd. With package 1.0.0-0.1, that changed with an hard dependency to policykit-1. This drives that package somewhat unusable for me as I never want to have any dbus based privileges escalation in my systems. And I believe that dependency should be lowered to recommend as it is not mandatory if the disk device is writable by the user (or the tool is used as root but that would have other security concerns, running a GUI tool as root). It is not often that I use the GUI tool gparted but from time to time it is very useful. So I would ask to lower that dependency to a recommend only. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Devuan Description: Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera/ceres) Release: unstable Codename: sid Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 5.6.7 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) -- Klaus Ethgen http://www.ethgen.ch/ pub 4096R/4E20AF1C 2011-05-16 Klaus Ethgen <kl...@ethgen.ch> Fingerprint: 85D4 CA42 952C 949B 1753 62B3 79D0 B06F 4E20 AF1C
