This can be reproduced by editing
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy and damaging
the suspend privilege name, e. g.
<action id="org.freedesktop.upower.suspendx">
then the polkit call will throw an error, which leads to a segfault:
$ sudo killall upowerd
$ sudo /usr/lib/upower/upowerd -v
In another terminal, do "upower --dump", and see upowerd crash with
(upowerd:13852): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError
or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before
it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Remote Exception invoking
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.CheckAuthorization() on
/org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/Authority at name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1:
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.freedesktop.upower.suspend
is not registered
Segmentation fault
Looks like this was fixed in
