The mate-polkit package provides a D-Bus session bus service that is used to bring up authentication dialogs used for obtaining privileges.

This package contains an executable wrapper script for the MATE policy kit authentication agent.

This package eases using mate-polkit as PolicyKit-1 authentication agent on non-MATE desktop environments that don't auto-launch their own authentication agent (e.g., i3, awesome, ratpoison and alike). Original-Maintainer: Debian+Ubuntu MATE Packaging Team
