[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#692340: policykit-1: pkexec should export the pam environment

[Steve Langasek]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com

Hi folks,

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/patches/07_pam_environment.patch: set process environment
    from pam_getenvlist().
  * debian/patches/01_pam_polkit.patch: adjust patch to invoke pam_env, so
    our global settings from /etc/environment are applied correctly.

This is wanted because of
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/982684>.  Please
consider applying these changes in Debian, and/or forwarding them upstream.

Thanks,
