On some laptops it would now be possible to regulate the backlight of the laptop screen. However this new helper also caused an issue with the current polkit-defaults-privs, as that it is not listed. In the KDE:Distro:Factory repo we have resolved it temporarily by setting the error to a information in a rpmlintrc, but as indicated this needs to be pushed to Factory soon. The warning is: [ 1579s] kdebase4-workspace.x86_64: I: polkit-cant-acquire-privilege org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper.syspath (??:yes:yes) [ 1579s] Usability can be improved by allowing users to acquire privileges via [ 1579s] authentication. Use e.g. 'auth_admin' instead of 'no' and make sure to define [ 1579s] 'allow_any'. This is an issue only if the privilege is not listed in /etc [ 1579s] /polkit-default-privs.* The package itself can be found in KDE:Distro:Factory. As that this is blocking the submission to Factory, it has some urgency. Therefore I set it as a critical bug.
