Bug#923200: libpolkit-qt5-1-1
Package: libpolkit-qt5-1-1
Version: 0.112.0-5
Severity: serious
Tags: newcomer
Justification: Policy 7.2
libpolkit-qt5-1-1 has a hard dependency on libpam-systemd. Violates "Depends: This declares an absolute dependcy...
The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality."
While this library appears to not do much except fail if libpam-systemd is missing, this is a requried library for KDE applications, and they are
all resilient against this scenario. As a result, the dependency is effectively false. Disclaimer: I think KDE session itself has a real dependency
on systemd, but this is not the appropriate place to put the dependnecy as KDE applications don't actually depend on KDE session.
Fix: change Depends: libpam-systemd to Recommends: libpam-systemd or maybe remove altogether
