This bug was fixed in the package policykit-1 - 0.105-8ubuntu4
---------------
policykit-1 (0.105-8ubuntu4) vivid-proposed; urgency=medium
* debian/policykit-1.{pre,pos}inst: Temporarily mask polkitd.service while
policykit-1 is unpackaged but not yet configured. During that time we
don't yet have our D-Bus policy in /etc so that polkitd cannot work yet.
This can be dropped once the D-Bus policy moves to /usr.

installing policykit-1 hangs under systemd

Bug description:
I've installed 15.04 using the current amd64 netboot.tar.gz (MD5 =
6566065bf73a9c81feeddf5520dda122). 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) ...
Processing triggers for shared-mime-info (1.3-1) ...
Processing triggers for mime-support (3.58ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for udev (219-7ubuntu3) ...
Processing triggers for dbus (1.8.12-1ubuntu5) ...
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.
