Looking at the syslog for the failed upgrade to accountsservice 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.1 with autologin enabled, I find that the first failure appears at...

Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1843982 Title: Various programs crashed with SIGSEGV in g_str_hash() from g_hash_table_lookup() from update_user() Status in accountsservice: New Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in accountsservice source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in accountsservice package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: [ Description ] When accountsservice's daemon is restarted - particularly when there is a user configured for auto login - it can cause code using its library to crash. This is bad because gnome-shell is one of those users which crashes. [ QA ] Configure a user for automatic login in gnome-shell. Restart accounts-daemon.service (sudo systemctl restart accounts- daemon.service) a few times, leaving several seconds between each attempt. See that it crashes if you don't have this SRU, and doesn't if you do have it. --- Test that fast user switching still works properly. --- Take a look at the error reports listed below and hopefully see them not occurring (barring the usual noise) with the SRU. [ Regression potential ] We think this is safe - it tells clients that the daemon is away when it quits, and is back when it comes back. They should get appropriate signals to indicate this. Nevertheless, these signals are sent when they weren't before now, so that could cause problems. Watch out for errors creeping up with this SRU. We wondered upstream whether some more protections might be needed. I'm thinking that those should be *additional* safety rails around this fix, but it could actually be that more is needed and this fix isn't complete.
