Hi,
I just found out that policykit on my package is no longer needed.
Because it looked strange to me a took a look at other packages and
found polkit package. What is the difference between these two
(policykit and polkit)? Both seems to provide the same package.

policykit is dead and being replace by polkit. I think now that KDE 4.4
uses polkit, policykit might in fact be obsolete.


policykit and policykit-gnome will die soon. At this moment only
pulseaudio in community uses it, but I'm sure someone has ported that to
polkit also.


http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18258

i was looking at configure and it doesn't need it and changelog say that polkit code move removed since 09/2009. when pulseaudio is rebuild we are ready to remove it.
