Bug#800666: Please change dependency on "consolekit | systemd"

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,

this bug has been tagged pending for months. Is there any progress in
getting the fix uploaded? What's blocking the upload?

If it's -ENOTIME, I could offer to NMU.

Regards,
Michael

Bug#800666: Please change dependency on "consolekit | systemd"

Package: libpolkit-qt5-1-1
Version: 0.112.0-4
Severity: important

Hi,

currently libpolkit-qt5-1-1 has a
Depends: consolekit | systemd

Consolekit is basically dead and not really used anymore in Debian, it
has been replaced by logind.
E.g. policykit-1 has been switched from consolekit to logind since
Jessie.

For a fully functional logind session, you want to have libpam-systemd
installed.

My recommendation therefor is to either drop the dependency completely
and simply let the policykit-1 package pull in the necessary
dependencies or change the dependency to "libpam-systemd | consolekit",
assuming that the consolekit backend is actually usable (and tested).

Michael
