Title:
[patch] screen-resolution-extra should depend on polkit-1-auth-agent
instead of policykit-1-gnome
Status in screen-resolution-extra package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in screen-resolution-extra source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
System: Ubuntu MATE 18.04
Package version: 0.17.1
Expected behavior:
Package screen-resolution-extra should depend on polkit-1-auth-agent.
This would allow installing it in desktop environments that provide
their own PolicyKit authentication agents, like MATE which has mate-
polkit. All these agents provide polkit-1-auth-agent (which is a
virtual package).
Actual behavior:
Package screen-resolution-extra depends on policykit-1-gnome. In MATE
desktop it leads to installation of both mate-polkit and
policykit-1-gnome, which is not needed.
Additional info:
Package screen-resolution-extra is used by nvidia-settings tool,
therefore the problem affects everyone who uses proprietary nvidia
drivers.
The debdiff that is attached below makes screen-resolution-extra
depend on polkit-1-auth-agent, fixing the problem.
