Source: policykit-1-gnome
Version: 0.105-7
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: policykit-1
Control: block 1025540 by -1

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

I suspect that a dependency on polkitd would be enough here.

If this package runs /usr/bin/pkexec, please represent that as a Depends,
Recommends or Suggests on pkexec, whichever is appropriate for the strength
of the requirement.

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,
