Package: libvirt-daemon-system Version: 1.2.9-3~bpo70+1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
A recent upload of backported libvirt packages introduced policykit-1 hard dependency on libvirt-daemon-system package. Such dependency is unnecessary strict, as 'polkit' authentication type (according to the /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf) is not the only authentication libvirtd can use (it's trivial to modify libvirtd.conf to remove the need of polkit), although libvirtd uses 'polkit' as the default authentication type. Regardless of how suitable such dependency is for jessie, please consider downgrading policykit-1 dependency to recommends for wheezy-backports at least. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libvirt-daemon-system depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii gettext-base 0.18.1.1-9 ii init-system-helpers 1.18~bpo70+1 ii libapparmor1 2.7.103-4 ii libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-2 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-2 ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.3 ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u6 ii libcap-ng0 0.6.6-2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1+deb7u4 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.74-8 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-5+deb7u1 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-8+deb7u2 ii libnl1 1.1-7 ii libnuma1 2.0.8~rc4-1 ii libsasl2-2 2.1.25.dfsg1-6+deb7u1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libssh2-1 1.4.2-1.1 ii libsystemd-daemon0 44-11+deb7u4 ii libvirt-clients 1.2.9-3~bpo70+1 ii libvirt-daemon 1.2.9-3~bpo70+1 ii libvirt0 1.2.9-3~bpo70+1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+wheezy2 ii libyajl2 2.0.4-2 ii logrotate 3.8.1-4 ii policykit-1 0.105-3 Versions of packages libvirt-daemon-system recommends: ii bridge-utils 1.5-6 ii dmidecode 2.11-9 ii dnsmasq-base 2.62-3+deb7u1 pn ebtables <none> pn iproute2 <none> ii iptables 1.4.14-3.1 ii parted 2.3-12 ii pm-utils 1.4.1-9 Versions of packages libvirt-daemon-system suggests: pn apparmor <none> pn auditd <none> ii radvd 1:1.8.5-1 pn systemd <none> pn systemtap <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf changed [not included] /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf changed [not included] /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
