Yes this is expected and intended, as we want to prioritize allowing to
build minimal images, so a lot of "extra" functionality is enabled but
won't work until recommends and suggests are installed. If you want to
make sure all features are usable, you can use apt install --install-
suggests and that will bring in everything.

Please file an issue upstream, or better yet, a PR.

Bug#1073835: systemd: new run0 utility fails due to missing dependency

2024-06-19 Thread John Shaft
Package: systemd
Version: 256-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

systemd 256 introduced a 'run0' utility intended to serve a similar purpose as 
sudo(8)

run0(1) manpage states:

'Authentication takes place via polkit[1], thus isolating the authentication 
prompt from the terminal (if possible).'

As of now, polkitd is only a suggestion and not yet a dependency for systemd so 
chances are it is not installed. Trying to use run0 thus fails, eg:

$ run0 ls /tmp
Failed to start transient service unit: Access denied

(note that run0 error message could be improved, but it is an upstream issue)
