Description Kevin Kofler 2014-12-08 06:59:50 UTC
Description of problem:
liveusb-creator has a hardcoded Requires: polkit-gnome, which drags in polkit-gnome even on KDE environments where it is not needed or useful.

Applications using PolicyKit should only use:
Requires: polkit
It is the responsibility of polkit and/or the desktop environment to drag in an authentication agent.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liveusb-creator-3.13.1-1.fc22
liveusb-creator-3.13.1-1.fc21
liveusb-creator-3.13.1-1.fc20
liveusb-creator-3.13.1-1.fc19

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install or update (we install it by default) liveusb-creator on a KDE installation.

Actual results:
polkit-gnome is dragged in.

Expected results:
polkit-gnome is not dragged in.

Additional info:
This affects Rawhide, F21 updates (unfortunately already stable), F20 updates-testing (giving negative karma) and F19 updates-testing (giving negative karma). It is a regression (bug introduced in an update) on F19, F20 and F21.

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2014-12-08 07:11:27 UTC
CCing the author of the specfile patch: Please don't add Requires: polkit-gnome to packages ever again!

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2014-12-08 12:39:18 UTC
The usual dep to satisfy having a DE agnostic policy kit agent is:
Provides: PolicyKit-authentication-agent

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2014-12-08 12:41:48 UTC
s/Provides/Requires/ , sorry.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2014-12-08 12:42:59 UTC
That said, it is also expected that DE's provide a policykit agent, so the dep could be removed too.
