Package: policykit-1 Version: 0.105-11 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I installed strech with d-i alpha 2 with no task selected in tasksel. After booting into the system, I tried to install packages which depend on policykit-1 and they throw the following error. Installation hangs or errors out with many packages failing during configuration stage. Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out This is very similar to the Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1436448 In my case the package I am trying to install is freedombox-setup which tries to install policykit-1 via other packages such as avahi and firewalld. The workaround suggested on the bug report worked. First if I install policykit-1 then reboot and after that if I install my packages, it works without any problem. I can gather and provide any further information required or try out fixes. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages policykit-1 depends on: ii dbus 1.8.20-1 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libglib2.0-0 2.44.1-1.1 ii libpam-systemd 224-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-11 ii libpolkit-backend-1-0 0.105-11 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-11 policykit-1 recommends no packages. policykit-1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
