Hi, I had a quick look and hoping my incomplete findings might be helpful...

So apparently polkitd is not running after the first reboot attempt. I have no clue why or how to investigate why so I guess I'll leave that to the professionals. Maybe it would be useful to change the test to do "pidof polkitd || fail" to gather more autopkgtest artifacts information for debugging purposes? i.e. the boot-smoke-journal.txt file.
