policykit is not at all responsible for setting device permissions, FYI. This was broken by, and fixed again, in udev:
udev (143-7) karmic; urgency=low * debian/rules: Add "prep" target to get a buildable source tree. This cares for autoconfiscation, and fixes gtk-docs' makefile snippet to get along with our separate build trees. * debian/rules: Call dh_install with --fail-missing, to avoid regressions like the recent dropping of the ConsoleKit helper. * debian/udev.install: Add missing ConsoleKit helper. This repairs device ACLs. * debian/udev.install: Add missing usr/share/doc/udev (README.keymap and "writing udev rules") * debian/udev.install: Install udev.pc. Not much here, but can't hurt, and other software might rely on it. * debian/libgudev-1.0-dev.install: Install gtk-doc documentation. * debian/libudev-dev.install: Install gtk-doc documentation. * debian/copyright: Fix formerly versionless reference to GPL. * debian/control: Put libudev-dev into section "libdevel". * debian/rules: Call dh_installdeb after dh_makeshlibs, so that the debhelper scripts from the latter actually get active. Fixes ldconfig calling. -- Martin Pitt <martin.p...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:09:38 +0200 ** Package changed: policykit-1 (Ubuntu) => udev (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- No Sound [karmic] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393665 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
