[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#726466: libsystemd-login0: while logging in to tty6 got Failed to issue method call.

[Ernest Adrogué]

Package: libsystemd-login0
Version: 204-5
Followup-For: Bug #726466

Hi,

I can confirm this.  The message appears on tty6 after a successful login on
a tty or lightdm.  This is on a recently installed (3 weeks ago) Debian
"testing" system.  I think this may have been going on since the first day,
although I haven't noticed until now. 

Let me know if I can provide you with more details.
