Yes, policykit-1 0.105-8ubuntu4 fixes this for me. Same steps as before: apt-get purge apport policykit-1: apt-get install apport policykit-1

It installs fine, but I'm getting errors installing packages (such as lubuntu-core). Last few lines from apt-get: Processing triggers for systemd (219-7ubuntu3) ... Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out dpkg: error processing package systemd (--unpack): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for libglib2.0-0:amd64 (2.44.0-1ubuntu3) ...

Errors were encountered while processing: systemd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I've done a second install using the server iso and lubuntu-core installs fine on that. The only thing different was my install media. SRU TEST CASE: - Boot a minimal VM and purge "apport policykit-1", or do the above netboot installation. - sudo apt-get install policykit-1 apport - The above hangs on the systemd triggers and eventually fails. It should succeed fine with this update. Regression potential: Very low: This update avoids that systemd tries to start up polkit while it's unpacked but not configured, which is exactly the case that can't work. If there's anything wrong with the postinst and the rm for the temporary masking symlink does not get run for some reason, the next reboot will clean it up anyway. So the fix is a no-change operation for anything but first install.
