policykit-1 package was missing

[kentbull]

Installing on a fresh Ubuntu 25 DigitalOcean droplet had the policykit-1 package as missing. I had to add the following .sources file for it to show up:

Filename: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-noble.sources contents:

Types: deb
URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
Suites: noble
Components: main

and then apt update.

I imagine this can be done with Ansible.

Hi, @kentbull :smile:.

Thanks for the report! Note that we don't support Ubuntu 25. However, we'll leave this issue open as it might affect Ubuntu 26.04 as well once it's released.

Once again, thanks a lot for the report and the workaround :+1:.

Looks like the policykit-1 package has been replaced by polkitd and pkexec. Pull request #262, which adds support for Debian Trixie, will address this issue.
