Without a reboot, I still get the same error with the new policykit
package from vivid-proposed.

When I do this:

# apt-get purge apport policykit-1
# apt-get autoremove

Then do  a system reboot, followed by:

# apt-get install apport

So the new package fixes the problem for people who haven't yet had a
failed install, but it doesn't work to upgrade from failed install
without a system reboot.

Title:
  installing policykit-1 hangs under systemd

Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in policykit-1 source package in Vivid:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've installed 15.04 using the current amd64 netboot.tar.gz (MD5 =
  6566065bf73a9c81feeddf5520dda122). It installs fine, but I'm getting
  errors installing packages (such as lubuntu-core).

  Last few lines from apt-get:
  Processing triggers for systemd (219-7ubuntu3) ...
  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 libglib2.0-0:amd64 (2.44.0-1ubuntu3) ...
  Processing triggers for shared-mime-info (1.3-1) ...
  Processing triggers for mime-support (3.58ubuntu1) ...
  Processing triggers for udev (219-7ubuntu3) ...
  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)

  I've done a second install using the server iso and lubuntu-core
  installs fine on that. The only thing different was my install media.

  SRU INFORMATION
  ===============
  Test case:
  - Boot a minimal VM and purge "apport policykit-1", or do the above netboot installation.
  - sudo apt-get install policykit-1 apport
  - The above hangs on the systemd triggers and eventually fails in vivid final. It should succeed fine with this update.

  Regression potential: Very low: polkitd does not keep state, so one
  can restart it fine. The postinst shell modification is simple and
  obvious.
