Bug#847747: latest version breaks polkitd
Package: libmozjs185-1.0
Version: 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-5.2
Severity: grave
Version 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-5.2 breaks polkitd:
Dec 10 23:31:07 macarthur kernel: traps: polkitd[577] general protection
ip:7fcce2bcdbd1 sp:7ffe4cf4e220 error:0 in
libmozjs185.so.1.0.0[7fcce2ace000+358000]
Dec 10 23:31:07 macarthur systemd[1]: polkit.service: Main process exited,
code=killed, status=11/SEGV
Dec 10 23:31:07 macarthur systemd[1]: polkit.service: Unit entered failed
state.
Dec 10 23:31:07 macarthur systemd[1]: polkit.service: Failed with result
'signal'.
Symptoms:
- on system startup: a long (minutes) pause between systemd reports
"Starting User Manager for UID 131" (131 is Debian-gdm) and the
gdm login screen actually appears
- after login, another long pause before my desktop shows (systemd
starts another "user" session, this time for my account)
- the top right menu on the Gnome desktop is missing the "shutdown"
button (though I have the necessary permission)
Downgrading to 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-5 makes the problems go away.
Cheers, Roderich
