[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#731649: systemd: sleep key no longer suspends - just locks + blanks screen

[Jonathan McDowell]

Package: systemd
Version: 204-5
Severity: normal

This could be a gnome-power-manager (3.8.2-1) or upower (0.9.23-2+b1)
issue, but it seems to have started at the point a GNOME upgrade pulled
in systemd for logind.

Since this time my laptop's sleep button no longer works correctly.
Pressing it results in the screen being locked and the LCD being turned
off, but doesn't actually suspend the laptop. I get the following errors
in /var/log/daemon.log:

Dec  7 12:12:59 makguksu dbus[3877]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.systemd1' (using servicehelper)
Dec  7 12:12:59 makguksu dbus[3877]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

Choosing the "Suspend" menu option from the GNOME panel or invoking
pm-suspend from the command line both continue to work fine. I've tried
setting HandleSuspendKey to both ignore and suspend in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf (rather than the default commented out option)
and neither seems to change the behaviour.

I am not running systemd as my init; still using sysvinit (2.88dsf-43).

Please let me know if I can provide any further information to help.
