Why should we disable something by default if that works with the current instructions? It is clearly said that docbook-xml and docbook-xsl are required if libxslt is installed. I would rather suggest expanding the note saying that if libxslt is installed, but docbook stuff isn't present someone could add --disable-man-pages. > > > Second, I get a test failure: > > /PolkitBackendJsAuthority/get_admin_identities: Error getting system > bus: Could not connect: No such file or directoryError loading > /var/run/ConsoleKit/database: Error statting file > /var/run/ConsoleKit/database: No such file or directory > ** > (/tmp/polkit/polkit-0.106/test/polkitbackend/.libs/lt-polkitbackendjsauthoritytest:98 > > I have not installed consolekit.

It is D-Bus that is problem, not ConsoleKit. And it is a bad thing recommending consolekit, since polkit is recommended for consolekit. It would be catch-22 situation. You can pass test without consolekit running, but not without d-bus running. Error getting system bus: Could not connect: No such file or directory. is the actual problem. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
