Bug Description
Binary package hint: hplip
PolicyKit got a new API ("1.0"), which applications need to be ported to. This requires some changes on PK-protected servers; PK clients simply need to drop all policykit related code entirely, due to the simplified structure of PK 1.0.
hplip is one of the last packages in Karmic which still use the old API, and ought to be ported as soon as possible. It would be bad to ship two authentication stacks and two different user interfaces.
Please see https:/
Thanks!

Dave, Shiyun, Don, can you do the migration to the new polkit1 as soon as possible and provide a patch for HPLIP 3.9.8? In Ubuntu we are after feature freeze for Karmic now and so we cannot take the next HPLIP release into Karmic, but patches are no problem.
This is very important because we do not want to keep both PolicyKit and polkit-1.
