[Bug 1131271] [NEW] Both polkit-kde-1 and policykit-1-gnome should be installed if the application depends on them

[Andrej Mernik]

Public bug reported:

I just installed custom version of Ubuntu 12.10 Server with KDE and
Apper as the package manager. The policy kit part was installed, but
unfortunately it was policykit-1-gnome so there were no dialogs in
Apper. I fixed the bug by installing polkit-kde-1 manually.

If you look at the package page of for example quantal version of apper:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/apper you can see it depends on
policykit-1-gnome *or* polkit-kde-1. Since the Gnome version got
installed because I started with Ubuntu base and not Kubuntu, the
dependency was satisfied for apper, but unfortunately this resulted in
an unusable program. The same goes for other programs that need GUI
authentication (like SystemSettings).

Such incidents could be easily avoided if both packages would be
installed.
