Source: lxde-metapackages
Version: 11
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: policykit-1

This package has a Recommends on the transitional package policykit-1,
which has been separated into polkitd, pkexec and (deprecated)
polkitd-pkla packages.

If the intended functionality for this metapackage is the polkitd D-Bus
service, please represent that as a Depends, Recommends or Suggests on
polkitd.

If the intended functionality is the ability to run /usr/bin/pkexec,
please represent that as a Depends, Recommends or Suggests on pkexec.

For packages that are expected to be backported to bullseye, it's OK to
use an alternative dependency: polkitd | policykit-1 and/or
pkexec | policykit-1.

This is part of a mass bug filing, see
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/10/msg00211.html>.

Thanks,
    smcv
