Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:riseup-vpn
User: [email protected]
Usertags: pu
[ Reason ]
This package is missing:
+ dependency for polkits in ORed fashion
+ a patch which adds in some more polkit binaries to paths and cinnamon as a DE
providing polkit-1-auth-agent
in a helper function which tries to see if polkit is running
This was filed as #1124472
[ Impact ]
riseup-vpn will fail to start and/or function on systems which do not have the
polkits listed in helper function.
Also it could be problematic if it runs the old removed polkits.
[ Tests ]
Installed this dependency and the package works fine after clicking settings
etc.
This is also fixed in unstable.
[ Risks ]
This is a leaf package and the changes are very minimal.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Other info ]
Since this is a minor change, I (source-only) uploaded to p-u.
