Source: debhelper
Version: 13.15.3
Control: affects -1 src:gnome-remote-desktop
X-Debbugs: syst...@packages.debian.org
gnome-remote-desktop 46 upstream has decided to implement both
tmpfiles.d and sysusers.d to create a system user and its home
directory. systemd-tmpfiles needs to run before systemd-sysusers. If
not, on a new install, this command hangs for about 90 seconds:
Creating user 'gnome-remote-desktop' (GNOME Remote Desktop) with UID
*** and GID ***.
Then this error:
Could not execute systemctl: at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 148.
Then the installation completes successfully.
Therefore, I recommend that debhelper automatically runs
dh_installtmpfiles before running dh_installsysusers in case any other
projects want to do what gnome-remote-desktop does.
I was able to workaround this issue:

Thank you,

Hi Michael and Luca
What is the correct order for tmpfiles vs. sysusers?
I thought the order was sysusers (to create the user) and then tmpfiles
(to create files/directories and set ownership accordingly). In this bug
report, the request is to have the directories first before the user is
created.
Could you please assert what the correct order is for the default case?
Best regards,
Niels
