Package: polkitd Version: 125-2 Dear Maintainer,
Something was removing the world-readable mode of /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ on my system (repeatedly), which meant that an un-privileged git process was not able to check for changes until I fixed it. It took me a while to track this down. I thought it was not the polkitd package, because its maintainer scripts specifically skip the "chmod" on the directory if a dpkg-statoverride entry exists, as does on my system. But it seems that the /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/polkit-tmpfiles.conf file from this package is to blame; it does not respect the statoverride settings. I don't see why it is necessary, and the relevant changelog entry has no explanation. I also don't consider it appropriate to modify a permanent administrator-controlled directory via the temporary-file mechanism; the directory could be created by a maintainer script if necessary, and then left alone. If there is a good reason for this, the tmpfiles.d files should at least be mentioned in polkitd.postinst to avoid frustration (dpkg-divert could then be used to get rid of it). - Michael -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.11.7-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages polkitd depends on: ii adduser 3.137 ii dbus [default-dbus-system-bus] 1.14.10-6 ii libc6 2.40-3 ii libduktape207 2.7.0-2+b2 ii libexpat1 2.6.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0t64 2.82.2-2 ii libpam-systemd [logind] 257~rc1-4 ii libpam0g 1.5.3-7+b1 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 125-2 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 125-2 ii libsystemd0 257~rc1-4 ii systemd [systemd-sysusers] 257~rc1-4 ii xml-core 0.19 polkitd recommends no packages. polkitd suggests no packages.
