Description Kevin Kofler 2009-02-24 18:06:43 UTC
Description of problem:
gdm has a hardcoded dependency on PolicyKit-gnome. Is this really necessary? In the KDE spin, we would like to ship PolicyKit-kde instead of PolicyKit-gnome. PolicyKit-kde also implements the org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent service.

(Note that gdm is not included on the current KDE spin.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-1:2.25.2-3.fc11

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. repoquery --repoid=rawhide --whatrequires PolicyKit-gnome
  
Actual results:
gdm requires PolicyKit-gnome.

Expected results:
gdm does not require PolicyKit-gnome.

Additional info:
Maybe a common Provides in both PolicyKit-gnome and PolicyKit-kde is needed?
