Bug#844785: systemd prevents polkit from working properly



It took about an hour to find this bug report, since I was looking for
changes related to consolekit, polkit, pam, etc. I've been using using
sysvinit-core to avoid systemd issues (systemd doesn't even boot for me
for some reason I don't care to investigate), so it didn't immediately
occur to me to look at possible systemd libraries changes. I wouldn't be
surprised if a lot of people hitting this don't know to look here.

Confirming this all seems accurate. I too am using systemd-shim (which
was not updated in a while.

As a work-around, look through the log to get the systemd-related
packages which were upgraded:

$ grep 232-3 /var/log/dpkg.log | grep ' status installed ' | \
      cut -d ' ' -f 5 | sort | uniq
libpam-systemd:amd64
libsystemd0:amd64
libsystemd0:i386
libudev1:amd64
libudev1:i386
libudev-dev:amd64
systemd:amd64
udev:amd64

Then head over to http://snapshot.debian.org/package/systemd/231-9/ and
download the debs for each of the above. Check the hashes, and install:

# dpkg -i *.deb

Reboot, and now you can shutdown via lightdm, mount drives, etc as normal.

Cheers,
Adam
