"$" indicates, that you were running the above command as unprivileged user. In that case it is expected that you are prompted for authentication. dpkg/apt must be run with root privileges, in which case no separate authentication is required. "sudo systemctl start phpsessionclean.timer" will/should not trigger a polkit authentication dialog. >> Assuming you haven't rebooted the system, please also include the output >> of "journalctl -alb" and dmesg. If you have persistent journal enabled, you might still have the logs from the previous boot. Now that you've rebooted, does "sudo apt install --reinstall php-common" trigger this issue again, ie. do you have a way to reproduce it? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
