Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2017-01-19 10:21:41 MSK

$ rpm -qa '*polkit*'
libpolkit-qt-core-1-0.112.0-alt1
polkit-0.113-alt2
libpolkit-gir-0.113-alt2
polkit-gnome-0.105-alt1
libpolkit-0.113-alt2
xfce-polkit-0.2-alt1
$ 

I have installed polkit-gnome by accident in ALT Education 8 system (with Xfce), and now an error is reported every time I login into Xfce from the dm:

XFCE PolicyKit Agent
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject

I suspect they should conflict with each other. I've found a sismilar discussion here:

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/24803/gdbuserrororgfreedesktoppolicykit1errorfailed-an-authentication-agent-already-exists-for-the-given-subject/

After removing the package polkit-gnome, this error disappears. After installing it, this error appears again.

P8 not supported nowaday.
Fixed in Sisyphus (ALT bug #42060).
