https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825956#81 has some background on this. sd_uid_get_state() is apparently broken in jessie with systemd-logind under sysvinit. This was fixed in a later systemd version, that's why no-one ever noticed it in unstable/testing. debian/patches/0.113/sessionmonitor-systemd-Use-sd_uid_get_state-to-check.patch and debian/patches/0.113/sessionmonitor-systemd-prepare-for-D-Bus-user-bus-mo.patch where added to support the systemd --user / D-Bus user model. This is not really a concern for jessie though. So my proposal would be, to simply disable those two particular patches. Those would be the only change between policykit-1/0.105-15~deb8u1 and deb8u2. Does that sound ok to you? Sorry for that mess this upload created. Regards, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
