However, package policykit-1-gnome has been removed from Debian Unstable/Testing for good. This is problematic, and causes problems such as https:// lists.debian.org/deity/2025/11/msg00003.html . Please consider modifying this dependency field and pick a proper dependency.I don't have proper answers without deeper investigation.Maybe try to consult smcv based on https://github.com/linuxmint/ cinnamon/issues/10172 ,
I'm aware of those discussions, but I don't see an answer there. Whatever I pick as default is probably unsuitable in one case or another.
or look into upstream?
upstream development for network-manager-gnome is practically dead. @Simon: What are your thoughts here?Maybe we should stop declaring a Depends/Recommends foo|polkit-1-auth-agent and simply assume that a proper desktop environment will make sure to pull in the polkit agent of their choice? And users of minimal window manager based environments will have to assemble their environment on their own.
I don't think we have agreed on a single "default" polkit-1-auth-agent as a successor for policykit-1-gnome which would suit everyone.
