--- Begin Message ---Package: deja-dup Version: 44.0-1 Severity: normal User: pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: policykit-1 This package has a Recommends 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 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/10/msg00211.html>. Thanks, smcv
