Title:
  installing policykit-1 hangs under systemd

  Fix Released
Status in policykit-1 source package in Vivid:
  Fix Committed
Status in policykit-1 package in Debian:
  Fix Committed

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 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. It should succeed fine with this update.

  Regression potential: Very low: This update avoids that systemd tries
  to start up polkit while it's unpacked but not configured, which is
  exactly the case that can't work. If there's anything wrong with the
  postinst and the rm for the temporary masking symlink does not get run
  for some reason, the next reboot will clean it up anyway. So the fix
  is a no-change operation for anything but first install.
