Description Emmanuel Lepage Vallée 2018-08-16 12:14:34 UTC 
If kauth is installed in /usr and a framework is installed in a prefix, this happens:


-- Installing: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.ktexteditor.katetextbuffer.policy
CMake Error at src/cmake_install.cmake:121 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot copy file
  "/home/lepagee/archive/ktexteditor/build/src/org.kde.ktexteditor.katetextbuffer.policy"
  to "/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.ktexteditor.katetextbuffer.policy".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake_install.cmake:72 (include)


If kauth is also in the prefix, then the policy is installed somewhere polkit can't find. So in both case, it's broken. `make install` should always allow root-less install when a prefix is used. Also installing polkit files where they wont be used is also pointless. So I guess the "solution" is to not install those files and print a warning when either kauth or any framework using it is in a prefix.
