New update:
The problem was more complex and the agent was just a "victim" of something
bigger.
Basically, DBUS was not starting properly.
Dbus starts at boot and queries LDAP. Since NSCD is not started yet, dbus has
problems.
Ubuntu 10.04 is using upstart for many services, including DBUS. Nscd is still
relying on symlinks, so the startup order can't be modified easily.
The problem has been solved with a modification of the dbus upstart
script and creating a custom Nscd upstart script, to make dbus depend on
nscd. Briefly, something of this kind:
upstart dbus.conf:
"start on started nscd"
upstart nscd.conf
"description "name service cache daemon"
start on local-filesystems
stop on runlevel [06]
#expect fork
pre-start script
mkdir -p /var/run/nscd
end script
exec /usr/sbin/nscd -f /etc/nscd.conf"
You can close this bug, then, because it's definitely not a polkit-agent issue
:)
