Package: polkitd
Version: 124-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
In polkitd.postinst, the following is executed on non-systemd systems to stop
polkitd:
start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --exec
/usr/libexec/polkitd || true
This /usr/libexec/polkitd file is not on my system, and it can not be found in
current *_debian_dists_sid_{main,contrib,non-free}_Contents-{all,amd64}.lz4.
This causes a message emitted during the configure of the polkitd package:
Setting up polkitd (124-2) ...
Creating group 'polkitd' with GID 994.
Creating user 'polkitd' (User for polkitd) with UID 994 and GID 994.
start-stop-daemon: unable to stat /usr/libexec/polkitd (No such file
or directory)
This message(start-stop-daemon: unable to ...) is useless and may confuse users.
I suggest change this line and the line before it as the following to prevent
this message:
test -x /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd && start-stop-daemon --stop
--oknodo --quiet --exec /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd || true
test -x /usr/libexec/polkitd && start-stop-daemon --stop
--oknodo --quiet --exec /usr/libexec/polkitd || true
A full patch is attached. Please consider apply this change or take any other
modification to prevent the possible confusing message from emitting.
Regards,
Jun MO
