systemd 245 introduced a bug[0][1] that prevents activating virtual
terminal without CAP_SYS_ADMIN when polkit is disabled (as is the case
on many embedded systems). One consequence of this is that it prevents
running weston from a service as a non-root user.
But in Debian, PolicyKit support is enabled?
Can you elaborate why this issue is relevant for Debian?
To be more specific:
We never reach
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/login/logind-polkit.c#L19
as this is a compile time switch and the "return 1" is only relevant
for distros which build systemd without PolicyKit support. But Debian
*does* build with PolicyKit support (i.e. ENABLE_POLKIT will be set).
So, I don't see how this pull request makes any functional difference
for Debian.
Without the commit, policykit-1 needs to be installed - as this would be
the only reason
This is a compile time check though (the commit you linked).
I don't see how this is going to make a difference
Is it correct that you didn't test the patch?
