[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#965165: policykit-1: polkit.service broken after switch to /usr/libexec

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-27
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

first the installation on upgrade fails like this:

Setting up policykit-1 (0.105-27) ...
chown: cannot access '/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1': No
such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package policykit-1 (--configure):
 installed policykit-1 package post-installation script subprocess
returned error exit status 1

That fixed the installation:

# mkdir -p /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1

But the polkit.service fails to start.

Checking the commits on <salsa.d.o> revealed there was a move/switch to /usr/libexec.

This fixes the issue for me (polkit.service):

Thanks.
