​I am seeing this "transaction is destructive" message still whenever,
after starting up my laptop docked, I try to do a shutdown.

When docked with lid closed, the machine is incapable of shutting down
normally.  If I log in as root and type 'poweroff', that's when I see
"transaction is destructive".

I run Debian sid, updated daily.

I think that this problem has existed for me ever since the forced
transition to systemd months and months ago.

This problem has tempted me to look at Devuan, but I have so far been too
lazy.

My work-around is to leave my laptop lid open when it is docked. However, I
don't like this because
(a) my keyboard grows needlessly ever dirtier with dust over the months, and
(b) the backlight is on and generates extra heat that I'd rather not inject
into my already-too-hot office.​

​Please help.​

​(I am using the stock '/etc/systemd/logind.conf'.​ I have tried mucking
with the various lid-switch settings, but nothing seems to work.)

​My machine is a Latitude E6530 with both Nvidia and Intel via Optimus.
When docked, I am using the proprietary Nvidia drivers via dkms.

Both Intel and Nvidia drivers are installed, and I manually switch between
them via the update-glx command when I transition between docked and
undocked configuration.
