I do not have any packaging experience unfortunately. I'm familiar with it as in read about it and watched some YT videos. > But, at least so we start somewhere, could you check if my fix[1] for bug > report #1124472 works? > The full context is at the same bug report.

I've tried it but it seems to me that apt isn't pulling the dependencies correctly still. Let me give you a brief summary of what I tried on fresh install of Debian 13 Cinnamon on a VM. I've followed the guide in [1] - I've set up debuild and quilt as per [1] - apt source riseup-vpn - sudo apt build-dep riseup-vpn - dquilt new fixup-policykit-depends-in-a-better-way.patch - dquilt add debian/control - Update debian/control with whats provided in the patch - dquilt refresh - dquilt header -e <patch description> - dch -i - debuild -b -uc -us - Build finished with no errors - sudo dpkg -i ../riseup-vpn_0.24.10+ds1-1+deb13u1.1_amd64.deb - sudo apt install -f - sudo dpkg -i ../riseup-vpn_0.24.10+ds1-1+deb13u1.1_amd64.deb When I run it, I get the same error of "could not find polkit agent" as in #1124472. I checked my system and none of the policykits (which are ORed in the control file) are installed it seems. Maybe my way of resolving the dependencies is incorrect (apt install -f) if so do let me know. I say this because when I list the dependencies using dpkg, they do come up. Maybe apt is pulling just the dependencies of official riseup-vpn package in the repositories.
