Hello,
gnome-packagekit misses a dependecy on a Policykit authentication agent. Rather than adding a dependency on polkit-gnome, would it make sense for all three Policykit authentication agent implementations (polkit-gnome, polkit-kde-1, lxpolkit) to provide something like polkit-agent which dependent packages could require instead?
Technically speaking, gnome-packagekit doesn't depend on a polkit auth agent. That's really PackageKit itself. You can call PackageKit methods that will require such authentication from any app, or even from the command line.
Also, I'm unsure we want all services providing polkit methods to require an auth agent; we certainly will forget about some cases.
I would find it cleaner, particularly regarding the gpk updater which is pretty useless without a polkit auth agent.
But again, this is just for gpk. What about all the other apps using polkit services? They don't require a polkit agent directly either.
I'd argue the auth agent should be provided by the desktop and therefore, the issue is a missing dependency somewhere else. Which desktop were you using?
The XFCE default pattern does not specify polkit-gnome but uses gpk.
So we can fix the XFCE pattern. Or we can add a Supplements to polkit-gnome to make it automatically installed for XFCE.
