Bug Description

Binary package hint: screen-resolution-extra

s-r-e is one of two remaining packages in the Ubuntu default install which still uses the deprecated policykit 0.9 API. Please port to the new polkit-1 API.

This generally means to change the backend code to the new API, completely throw away everything PolicyKit related from the frontends (polkit daemon invokes authorization dialogs on its own now), and moving around the .policy file.

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/PolicyKitOneMigration for the current status and links to API docs and migration guide.

Please see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ejockey-hackers/jockey/trunk/revision/562 for an example of another Python project (Jockey).

Oh, and I forgot: The current package does not depend on policykit at all. Please add a policykit-1 dependency if a package provides PK-protected services.

This bug was fixed in the package screen-resolution-extra - 0.10

---------------
screen-resolution-extra (0.10) karmic; urgency=low

  * policy-dontzap.py, policyui.py: Add missing hashbang lines (files are
    executable).
  * debian/control: Update Vcs-Bzr: to ubuntu-desktop branch.
  * Port to polkit-1: (LP: #435709):
    - screenresolution-mechanism.policy.in: auth_self_keep_always →
      auth_admin_keep.
    - setup.{py,cfg}: Install policy file into share/polkit-1/actions.
    - Drop ScreenResolution/policykit.py, and its usage in policyui.py and
      policy-dontzap.py; client-side handling of PK is not necessary any more.
    - screenresolution-mechanism.py: Drop PolicyKitAuthentication class, it's
      way too complicated.
    - screenresolution-mechanism.py, _check_permission(): Call polkit-1
      instead of old PolicyKit.
  * screenresolution-mechanism.py: Actually enforce privilege check by calling
    _check_permission() in the service methods.
  * debian/control: Add policykit-1 dependency.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no changes necessary).
