Package: pkexec Version: 126-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I've just upgraded to trixie, and noticed that synaptic-pkexec & pkexec took a very long time to start up. By stracing pkexec, I found that it was taking a very long time attempting to close many invalid file descriptors. /etc/security/limits.d/nofile.conf had: @audio - nofile unlimited The solution is probably "don't do that, then": I do appreciate that setting 'nofile unlimited' is maybe a bad idea. I've not seen a problem like this before updating to trixie, though, so I'm filing this bug just in case anyone else has done the same stupid thing as me and noticesthat synaptic-pkexec (and other things) take a very long time to start up and wonders why.
