I can easily reproduce this on a generic ppc64el virtual machine; policykit-1 may have trouble starting up: Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
In my case however it happened with the systemd postinst: Processing triggers for systemd (219-9ubuntu1) ... 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 dbus (1.8.12-1ubuntu5) ... Errors were encountered while processing: systemd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Running the install again appears to eventually let it succeed. Since it's not just reproducible with apport; I'm reassigning this to policykit-1. ** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => policykit-1 (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Error messages while installing apport package + Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1436448 Title: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1436448/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
