The postinst script will fail if it is executed before Policykit was ever started, because /var/run/PolicyKit won't exist yet, as /var/run is on a tmpfs (I think, anyway. I've only had a chance to have a quick look at it because I'm at work at the minute).
I'm confused why the postinst script needs to set ownership of a folder that resides on a volatile filesystem anyway. This is handled by the init script when it creates the folder at boot time (and the two aren't consistent anyway - for example, the postinst script tries to set ownership on /var/run/PolicyKit to root:polkituser, then the init script sets it to polkituser:polkituser). I think the postinst script should just start /etc/init.d/policykit and let the init script create and set the ownership of /var/run/PolicyKit. -- package policykit 0.9-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275355 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
