This MR was merged and AFAICT uploaded with version 1.9.7-1, so this bug
can/should be closed with that version?

This package doesn't seem to use pkexec, so please consider the attached
patch, also available as
.

It compiles successfully but I have not otherwise tested it.

According to diffoscope, the only differences in the built binary packages
as a result of this change seem to be build paths and Build-IDs.

Thanks,

Bug#1025559: fwupd: dependency on transitional policykit-1 package

[Simon McVittie]

Source: fwupd
Version: 1.8.6-2
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: policykit-1
Control: block 1025540 by -1

This package has a Depends and/or Build-Depends on the transitional
package policykit-1, which has been separated into polkitd, pkexec and
(deprecated) polkitd-pkla packages.

If this package communicates with polkitd via D-Bus, please represent that
as a Depends, Recommends or Suggests on polkitd, whichever is appropriate
for the strength of the requirement.

If this package runs /usr/bin/pkexec, please represent that as a Depends,
Recommends or Suggests on pkexec, whichever is appropriate for the strength
of the requirement.

If this package requires polkit at build-time (usually for the gettext
extensions polkit.its and polkit.loc), please build-depend on both
libpolkit-gobject-1-dev and polkitd, even if the package does not
actually depend on libpolkit-gobject-1 at runtime. This is because
the gettext extensions are currently in polkitd, but might be moved to
libpolkit-gobject-1-dev in future (see #955204). pkexec is usually not
required at build-time.

For packages that are expected to be backported to bullseye, it's OK to
use an alternative dependency: polkitd | policykit-1 and/or
pkexec | policykit-1.

This is part of a mass bug filing, see
.
