[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#698085: policykit-1: Initial new install fails due to non-existant directories

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.110-1
Severity: serious
Justification: does not install

  Hi,

  On a machine, I installed policykit-1 from experimental (ie 0.110-1) without
having it installed before.
  postinst fails due to the fact that
/etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d/ and /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/

Log in french locale:

Paramétrage de policykit-1 (0.110-1) ...
rmdir: échec de suppression de « /etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d/ »: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
dpkg: erreur de traitement de policykit-1 (--configure) :
 le sous-processus script post-installation installé a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1

  I workaround by typing:
sudo mkdir /etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d/ /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/
sudo dpkg -a --configure

  Removal of these two directories must not fail if they are already removed.

  Regards,
    Vincent
