[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#801425: dbus: upgrade from dbus 1.10.0-2 to 1.10.0-3 breaks policykit

[Gabriel Filion]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.10.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I'm running sid and this morning I performed an apt-get upgrade and a
dist-upgrade. This pulled in dbus 1.10.0-3.

Upon restart, systemd was hanging for a bunch of time with messages like the
following:

Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling
StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached
(g-io-error-quark, 24)

Then it would move on with other sartup jobs, and finally end up trying to
start gdm3 which looped and failed continuously. I was able to switch to tty1
and login but was continuously dragged back to tty7 because of gdm3
loop-failing every 10 seconds. Also, login on tty1 took approximately 30
seconds to succeed. I'm marking the bug as "grave" since it renders computers
mostly unsusable.

policykit-1 was not upgraded during the upgrade/dist-upgrade run. I've added
versions of policykit-1* in the list of package versions below.

Downgrading dbus and libdbus-1-3 to 1.10.0-2 fixed the issue, so it is clearly
a regression in the -3 version.
