Focal replaces this with a dependency on gnome-shell | policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent. As a result, when install screen-resolution-extra (e.g. as a dependency of nvidia-settings) on a system that doesn't already have GNOME or another polkit auth agent installed, the default dependency resolution pulls in a full GNOME desktop in Focal, while it does not do so under the same circumstances in Bionic. This can be worked around by explicitly installing policykit-1-gnome (or another package which provides the polkit-1-auth-agent virtual package), but it would be nice to not pull in GNOME by default on a system that doesn't already have it. [Impact] * Installing the nvidia-settings package causes gnome-shell to be installed. This is less than ideal on servers. [Fix] * Moving policykit-1-gnome ahead as the first of the polkit dependencies will solve the problem. [Test Case] * Install screen-resolution-extra from proposed on a system where no polkit-1-auth-agent provider is installed, and check that gnome-shell is not installed as a dependency. [Regression Risk] Low, as the change will still allow the dependency to be satisfied.
