Package: polkitd
Version: 122-2
Severity: serious
Justification: maintainer says so
Tags: pending
While upgrading a bullseye GNOME system[1] to bookworm, I got this
upgrade failure:
> Setting up polkitd (122-2) ...
> Creating group 'polkitd' with GID 999.
> usermod: user polkitd is currently used by process 109547
> dpkg: error processing package polkitd (--configure):
> installed polkitd package post-installation script subprocess returned error
> exit status 8
The root cause is that we are using `usermod -d /nonexistent polkitd`
to change the polkitd user's home directory from /var/lib/polkit-1 to
/nonexistent, to avoid junk directories like /var/lib/polkit-1/.cache
being created. However, usermod quite reasonably refuses to modify a
user while they have processes running.
I think there are two things we can do to avoid this:
- try to stop polkitd before we manipulate its system user;
- add a "|| true" to this usermod command because it could be restarted
by D-Bus activation, but the usermod change isn't really critical for
existing installations
and my inclination is to do both.

Changes:

.
* d/polkitd.postinst: Stop polkitd before changing home directory.
usermod will refuse to change the home directory if a polkitd process
is running as the polkitd uid, so stop polkitd if necessary, and also
don't fail if usermod can't change the home directory in an existing
installation (which is non-critical anyway). (Closes: #1030154)
