gir1.2-polkit-1.0: GObject introspection data for polkit

 polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling the policy that
 allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This package contains introspection data for polkit.
 .
 It can be used by packages using the GIRepository format to generate
 dynamic bindings.

libpolkit-agent-1-0: polkit Authentication Agent API

 polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling the policy that
 allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This package contains a library for accessing the authentication agent.

libpolkit-agent-1-0-dbgsym: debug symbols for libpolkit-agent-1-0
libpolkit-agent-1-dev: polkit Authentication Agent API - development files

 polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling the policy that
 allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This package contains the development files for the library found in
 libpolkit-agent-1-0.

libpolkit-gobject-1-0: polkit Authorization API

 polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling the policy that
 allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This package contains a library for accessing polkit.

libpolkit-gobject-1-0-dbgsym: debug symbols for libpolkit-gobject-1-0
libpolkit-gobject-1-dev: polkit Authorization API - development files

 polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling the policy that
 allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This package contains the development files for the library found in
 libpolkit-gobject-1-0.

pkexec: run commands as another user with polkit authorization

 polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
 that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 pkexec is a setuid program to allow certain users to run commands as
 root or as a different user, similar to sudo. Unlike sudo, it carries
 out authentication and authorization by sending a request to polkit,
 so it uses desktop environments' familiar prompting mechanisms for
 authentication and uses polkit policies for authorization decisions.
 .
 By default, members of the 'sudo' Unix group can use pkexec to run any
 command after authenticating. The authorization rules can be changed by
 the local system administrator.
 .
 If this functionality is not required, removing the pkexec package will
 reduce security risk by removing a setuid program.

policykit-1: transitional package for polkitd and pkexec

 polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
 that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This transitional package depends on polkitd, the system service used by
 polkit, and pkexec, a setuid program analogous to sudo. They were
 historically packaged together, but have been separated so that users of
 polkitd are not required to install pkexec.

policykit-1-doc: documentation for polkit

 polkit is a toolkit for defining and handling the policy that
 allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This package contains the API documentation of polkit.

polkitd: framework for managing administrative policies and privileges

 polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
 that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 It is a framework for centralizing the decision making process with respect to
 granting access to privileged operations for unprivileged (desktop)
 applications.
 .
 In a typical use of polkit, an unprivileged application such as gnome-disks
 sends requests via D-Bus or other inter-process communication mechanisms
 to a privileged system service such as udisks, which asks polkitd for
 permission to process those requests. This allows the application to carry
 out privileged tasks without making use of setuid, which avoids several
 common sources of security vulnerabilities.
 .
 This package provides the polkitd D-Bus service and supporting programs.
 The pkexec program is not included, and can be found in the pkexec package.

polkitd-dbgsym: debug symbols for polkitd
polkitd-pkla: Legacy "local authority" (.pkla) backend for polkitd

 polkit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy
 that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes.
 It was previously named PolicyKit.
 .
 This package configures the polkitd D-Bus service to read default
 authorization policies from .desktop-style files in subdirectories of
 /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority. It is compatible with the version of
 polkitd used in Debian 11 and older releases.
