[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#772125: policykit-1: patch - work around systemd injecting broken XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

[Vlad Orlov]

Hi Simon,

Well, it's easy to find the answer if you look at the mentioned upstream
commit. It's a workaround for the notorious bug [1] which upstream
systemd developers still refuse to fix.
True, there was some patch in systemd 204, but since then a lot of
versions passed by, and it seems that the latest systemd versions still
set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to the wrong value sometimes.
The most known consequence of it is the impact on dconf, which makes
various user-level software behave wrong (e.g. eat 100% CPU or a lot
of memory, freeze completely, etc.) [2][3][4][5][6].
