[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#523372: consolekit: Couldn't read /proc/'pid_number'/environ

[Justin B Rye]

Me too.  I get both sorts of WARNINGs and the sixty-odd TIDs, which
isn't exactly a bug:

Yes; for me this fixes everything.  The daemon is still running, but
apparently in no-daemon mode.

What does that mean?

Does it have any disadvantages for single-user machines?

Does it have any advantages over using "Exec=/bin/true"?

And above all, is there a way of configuring this in /etc, so that I
can be confident it will survive the next apt-get run?

"/etc/init.d/dbus restart" was enough.
