i understand that the 2 are different pieces of software that achieve the same thing. so what exactly is the difference here? i am guessing that different programs use a different one of the two? if so, which one is more popular? is it true that policykit will be deprecated soon?
i did a quick check on my kubuntu system, and noticed that both are installed: willy@Hamra:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep polkit libpolkit-agent-1-0 install libpolkit-backend-1-0 install libpolkit-gobject-1-0 install libpolkit-qt-1-0 deinstall libpolkit-qt-1-1 install polkit-kde-1 install willy@Hamra:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep policykit policykit-1 install policykit-1-gnome install policykit-desktop-privileges install willy@Hamra:~$ so, i assume they can co-exist, if needed, would it be a problem for them to share the same user "polkituser". in all cases, whatever advice this list has, would be very welcomed. thanks in advance. -- Waleed K.
