With further testing the upowerd and udisks2 startups also reported errors. The whole thing is so complex that I begin to unbderstand some of the desire for systemd.
The design is overly borked. What's wrong with setting up a group or groups to designate the capabilities. If the user is a member of the group, then those capabilities are granted. No need for dbus at all.
It may be that in 1% of commercial situations the policy stuff is needed, but it's again the attitude that one size fits all. If anyone needs a complex solution, then lets saddle everyone with the complex solution.
It all seems counter-intuitive to me. The only systems that need things like hibernate and suspend are laptops. They do not have multiple users.
systemd as a complex solution for an artificially complex permissions system?
