[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1076506: Bug#1076506: Bug#1076506: polkitd: Strange polkit related error upgrading to bookworm

[Michael Biebl]

Control: reassign -1 systemd

I am going to reassign this to systemd, which ships systemd-sysusers

The forum discussion you referenced mentioned two failures from 
systemd-sysusers https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=156286:


1/
Creating group 'polkitd' with GID 997.
Creating user 'polkitd' (polkit) with UID 997 and GID 997.
Failed to add existing group "adm" to temporary group file: Invalid argument


2/
Failed to check if group polkitd already exists: Connection refused
id: ‘polkitd’: no such user
chown: invalid user: ‘polkitd:root’

2/ is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1074789


You haven't supplied any error message from polkitd postinst so far, so 
my educated guess was that it was 2/ for you as well.

But since we don't have this information, we can't be certain. The only 
thing I can say for sure is that polkitd failed because systemd-sysusers 
failed to create the polkitd user which makes this a systemd issue. Thus 
reassigning.
