libsystemd added apparently isd_bus_set_method_call_timeout(3) after https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/60 was merged in 2019. The default seems to be 25 sec and if I read Luca right they consider that a sensible default. As I have no sufficient knowledge of dbus I am not sure if its as simple as lowering the timeout given I have no idea how "fast" our method call is supposed to return the fd… (If that needs to be configurable for slow targets, yada yada yada …) [or why it is that way at all. I would naively assume a method without a listener to 'timeout' immediately… but as said, no dbus knowledge] I also wonder a bit if this code (apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc 3448ff) is based on some example or what not that might or might not deserve an update (if it wasn't). I suppose not as I couldn't find a single user of that method via codesearch in Debian at least, but maybe everyone else is linking against dbus directly. Note that this is about the call only, so pre-depends on a somewhat broken login provider. There is no hang if there is e.g. no dbus running at all (like in a chroot). Best regards David Kalnischkies
