"So the fix could be what is proposed, or/and moving the packagekit hook to the right place."
I'd say both. I understand that, per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/1548480/comments/8, the PackageKit side of the issue would be fixed if Ubuntu shipped version 0.8.14 or later, which has been true since Xenial as Andreas observes in comment #10. Regarding the pm-utils fix, the problems seem to be that no-one is prepared to own and update pm-utils, and the systemd versions of Ubuntu don't need pm-utils (in fact, could be seriously confused by it). Consequently the fix should be implemented in Debian, as Christian says in comment #7, where pm-utils has been recognised as orphaned and is still being updated despite Debian using systemd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pm-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1548486 Title: Sleep hook in a subdirectory ignored but causes double execution of previous hook Status in pm-utils: Unknown Status in pm-utils package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The set of sleep hooks provided in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d includes one (95packagekit/95packagekit) that is stored in a subdirectory. This has two effects: 1 the hook is not run; 2 the previous hook, currently /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95led, is run for a second time instead. Presumably #1 is wrong, and results from an installation fault in packagekit, separately reported as bug 1548480. #2 occurs because the function run_hooks() in /usr/lib/pm-utils/pm- functions computes a list of to-be-executed hooks that includes directories but neither fully validates each such hook as a regular file nor handles a set of to-be-executed hooks in a subdirectory. At lines 243 on, there is a code path with no else clause through which the $hook from the previous iteration can be accidentally reused: if [ -f "$syshooks/$base" ]; then hook="$syshooks/$base" elif [ -f "$phooks/$base" ]; then hook="$phooks/$base" fi An easy fix is to insert the missing else clause before the fi line so that the script skips the subdirectory or other non-regular file and carries on with the next correctly specified hook: if [ -f "$syshooks/$base" ]; then hook="$syshooks/$base" elif [ -f "$phooks/$base" ]; then hook="$phooks/$base" else continue fi Observed in Lubuntu 14.04.3,4 with pm-utils 1.4.1-13ubuntu0.1,2. However the relevant pm-utils code dates back to 2008, pm-utils upstream version 1.1.0.
