After little IRC talk Martin Pitt fixed this bug in intrepid branch, but it seems forgot to fix in Hardy updates :(
(14:44:48) mantiena: I've found which hal.postinst line couses this message: (14:44:48) mantiena: if ! /usr/bin/polkit-auth --user haldaemon --explicit | grep -q 'org.freedesktop.policykit.read'; then (14:44:48) mantiena: /usr/bin/polkit-auth --user haldaemon --grant 'org.freedesktop.policykit.read' (14:44:48) mantiena: fi (14:45:27) mantiena: are these lines needed for upgrading hal package ? (14:46:08) pitti: mantiena: actually only for the first installation (14:46:30) pitti: so those could be wrapped into (14:46:35) pitti: if [ -z "$2" ]; then (14:47:48) mantiena: pitti: so, should I report a bug against hal package ? (14:48:43) pitti: mantiena: no need to, I just fixed it in trunk: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/ubuntu/revision/235 ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Martin Pitt (pitti) Status: New => Fix Committed -- hal can't upgrade in chroot: polkit-auth call in postinst fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
