Summary

Explicitly select the polkit RPM alongside systemd so ACL RPM images include the PolicyKit daemon. The existing standalone sys-auth/polkit mapping only takes effect when that Portage package reaches catalog resolution; it does not independently request installation.

Change Log

• Add polkit to the sys-apps/systemd RPM list in build_library/rpm/package_catalog.yaml.
• Preserve the existing standalone polkit mapping; no resolver, package-source, or runtime configuration changes.

Type of Change

• Image build change (base image, sysexts, OEM images)
• Package/SPEC update
• CI/automation change
• SDK/toolchain update
• Configuration change
• Documentation update
• Bug fix

Does this affect the image build?

Test Methodology

• Test details:
  • python build_library/rpm/parse_catalog.py build_library/rpm/package_catalog.yaml — passed; the systemd entry includes polkit and the standalone polkit mapping is preserved.
  • source build_library/rpm/package_catalog.sh; get_rpm_package_name sys-apps/systemd — passed for BOARD=amd64-usr and BOARD=arm64-usr, each with BOOTLOADER_MODE=grub and BOOTLOADER_MODE=uki; assertions confirmed exactly one polkit entry. Native Python stdout line endings were normalized for the Windows/Git Bash check.
  • git diff --check — passed.
  • Full image build and kola tests were not run; runtime installation and activation of polkit in a rebuilt image remain to be validated.

Merge Checklist
