Hi!
polkit / shadow
***************
The following command doesn't work, the directory /etc/polkit-1 is
*not* being created:
useradd -c "PolicyKit Daemon Owner" -d /etc/polkit-1 -u 27 \
-g polkitd -s /bin/false polkitd
That's obviously due to a change in shadow, as its manpage (-4.8.1) now
states that - if missing - the homedir will *not* be created. For
version 4.6 it says the opposite.
Apart from that I suggest that
--enable-libelogind=no
be mentioned in the config-options for polkit because otherwise it won't
build if elogind is not installed (as in my case).

The following line doesn't work, bash-5.1 complains about a missing ']':
$([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit)
This does work, however:
$( if [[ $(uname -m) == x86_64 ]]; then echo "--enable-64bit"; fi )
The first line does work in bash-4.4.18, though.
