Title:
long delay when first installing version 46

Fix Released
Status in gnome-remote-desktop source package in Noble:

Bug description:
Impact
------
There is a 90 second timeout delay during the upgrade to gnome-remote-desktop
(as in the upgrade from Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS or 23.10 to 24.04 LTS)
More Details
------------
This SRU replaces the "automatic" postinst rules from dh_installsysusers and
dh_installtmpfiles with custom postint rules that ensure that the sysusers and
tmpfiles commands are run before dbus is reloaded. This is similar to what
polkitd.postinst does but the new gnome-remote-desktop postinst is much simpler
than what polkitd does.
dh_installsysusers also adds
Depends: systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers.
(It appears like dh_installtmpfiles does not add similar dependencies).
Because we only support systemd, I have manually added:
Depends: systemd | systemd-sysusers,
systemd | systemd-tmpfiles
Test Case
---------
From Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS:
1. sudo apt remove gnome-remote-desktop
2. sudo systemctl stop gnome-remote-desktop
3. sudo deluser gnome-remote-desktop
4. sudo rm -fr /etc/gnome-remote-desktop /var/lib/gnome-remote-desktop
Those steps will undo adding the user that systemd-sysusers is
configured to add and undo adding the directories that systemd-
tmpfiles adds.
Then install the update. Verify that the update happens at normal
speed without a long delay before completion.
Alternate Test Case (Not Required)
-----------------------------------
You could do an upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 LTS but it requires much more
time and attention to verify that there isn't an arbitrary delay while apt
configures gnome-remote-desktop. Therefore, the other test case is recommended.
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
If a postinst command fails, then the system can be unable to finish
installing gnome-remote-desktop. This can be a pain to clean up. In this case,
the commands are protected by " || true".
Other Info
----------
This issue is a follow-up for LP: #2063333 In that bug, gnome-remote-desktop
wouldn't work at all for upgraders.
This bugfix is being bundled with a new upstream release with more
testing LP: #2072771
