Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: dpat at syn-net.org

Dear Maintainer,

after uninstalling xdg-desktop-portal I noticed that the
xdg-desktop-portal service was not stopped and could not be stopped
after the package has been removed:

  ❯ systemctl status --user xdg-desktop-portal
  Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of xdg-desktop-portal.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl --user daemon-reload' to reload units.

I did the following to fix that:

  ❯ sudo apt install xdg-desktop-portal

  ❯ systemctl --user daemon-reload

  ❯ systemctl stop --user xdg-desktop-portal

  ❯ systemctl status --user xdg-desktop-portal
  ● xdg-desktop-portal.service - Portal service
       Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/xdg-desktop-portal.service; static)
       Active: inactive (dead)
  [...]

  ❯ sudo apt remove xdg-desktop-portal

I think (the) xdg-desktop-portal user service(s) should be stopped before
removing the package. Is that possible?


Some rational:

I do not use flatpak, but xdg-desktop-portal somehow got installed
(either through steam or through chromium) and I noticed the following
log entries:

  Jun 12 15:44:06 executor systemd[5560]: Starting Portal service...

I also do not use pipewire, so I am not sure, if this messages are a bug itself.
I wanted to get rid of it, that is why I uninstalled xdg-desktop-portal.

And I only found the log messages because I wanted to fix the
"df fails on /run/user/1000/doc with "Operation not permitted"
problem:

Thx for maintaining xdg-desktop-portal!

I wish you a happy new year! All the best!

Best,
