Btw, I think now the package is "polkit", not "policykit"; I think the |
| 2 |
first replaced the second. If you enable the "policykit" USE flag for |
| 3 |
kdelibs and consolekit, only sys-auth/polkit gets installed, not |
| 4 |
sys-auth/policykit. However, if you enable that USE flag globally in |
| 5 |
make.conf, then I think both get installed because some package probably |
| 6 |
depend on the older package. |

Anyway, I don't have a "policykit.conf". Or if I have one, I don't know |
| 9 |
where it is and I never edited it. And yet everything seems to be |
| 10 |
working just fine here. |
