Reopening due to comment 13. I just can't reproduce this any more,
neither with installing packages separately (that has always worked for
me) nor installing them together (I could previously reproduce the hang,
but not any more with fixed policykit).

** Changed in: policykit-1 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => New

Title:
  installing policykit-1 hangs under systemd

Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in policykit-1 source package in Vivid:
  Fix Released

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.
