If you enable the "policykit" USE flag for kdelibs and consolekit, only sys-auth/polkit gets installed, not sys-auth/policykit. However, if you enable that USE flag globally in make.conf, then I think both get installed because some package probably depend on the older package. Anyway, I don't have a "policykit.conf". Or if I have one, I don't know where it is and I never edited it. And yet everything seems to be working just fine here. On 07/29/2010 03:31 AM, Andrey Vul wrote: > Ugh.
