Understood, a possibility would be to ask arch devs for a virtual provide, say polkit-agent . All polkit authentication agents then should provide it. No idea if they would accept it though.

@Lone_Wolf, that won't solve the deps issue. It needs a polkit agent, not pure polkit.

Or you look for something all those have in common and have this package depend on https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/polkit/

@Cromer: yes well, if that's a limitation of pacman then that's an opportunity for a package manager.. the only reason I would want a package manager is that it shows the 'lxsession (lxsession-git) (optional) – needed for authentification in Xfce, LXDE etc.' line in my face and gives the option to install it right away.. so long pamac - I seriously dislike the gtk3 interface anyways..

You'll need soon to change project URL. This one is new one: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac
You can read this on github.com url:
"This repo has been archived. Our code is now hosted at
See you there!"

@MindConsumer, it is impossible to be a real dependency. I use cinnamon which means that I need "polkit-gnome" you are using stand-alone compiz which means you need "lxsession", or people that use mate need "mate-polkit", etc. I don't want all of those installed obviously since I only need one of them(polkit-gnome). It is the responsibility of the person installing pamac to install the correct one needed for their system based off what they have installed.

Still?! :: pkgbrowser: installing pacman (5.1.0-2) breaks dependency 'pacman<5.1'
@Cromer: tnx for the clarification, I'm using compiz standalone so I'm probably missing this polkit agent - but why is that my problem? can't it be a dependency... Oh wait - it's an optional dependency: "lxsession - needed for authentification in Xfce, LXDE etc."

Anyone noticed the option "Clean Cache" under preferences, is not working? Is this upstream bug?

6.4.0 is out with pacman 5.1.0 support.
Hi guys, I've just installed Pamac, the workaround I found was to install all of the dependencies by separated 1 by 1 (quite tedious I know), I followed the above list "dependencies (22)" and at the end pacaur -S pamac-aur. The package compiled correctly with no errors.
