I see also a broken behaviour. I am doing a dual boot - with and without
systemd.
Till the libpolkit-backend has been linked against systemd, it has
worked just fine.
The problem is now that backend is trying to blindly use systemd, and
fails if systemd is not running as init. With that change the user
authentication for network-manager or pcmanfm mounting are broken -
there is just a pcmanfm msgbox "Not Authorized".
So *libpolkit-backend should first try to verify if systemd is an init
program, and if not - do not try to use it for authentication* - it will
definitely fail - so there is no point doing so.
I understand that running without systemd is not a typical Debian
installation, but dependence on systemd should not be a mandatory for
Debian breaking everything either.
It is an important bug.
Thanks, Woody
