The issue is that the new polkitd installs a file /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/polkitd.conf which creates directories owned by the 'polkitd' user
The polkitd user is created by the polkitd postinst maintainer script But a newer systemd is installed as a part of the upgrade and configured polkitd, which leads to systemd picking up the tmfiles.d config and trying to create the directories, but it errors out since polkitd wasn't configured yet and the corresponding user doesn't exists at this point. Unsure what the right fix is there? Should the user creation be moved to be done in a preinst instead? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2054716 Title: package polkitd 124-1 failed to install/upgrade: installed polkitd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/2054716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
