Change logs for policykit-1 source package in Eoan

  • policykit-1 (0.105-26ubuntu1) eoan; urgency=medium
    
      * Revert "Depend on new virtual packages default-logind and logind". We
        don't yet have a systemd which provides these virtual packages, rendering
        policykit-1 uninstallable. This change can be reverted once we do.

      [ Mark Hindley ]
      * Depend on new virtual packages default-logind and logind
        (Closes: #923240)
    
      [ Simon McVittie ]
      * Apply most changes from upstream release 0.116
        - d/p/0.116/Elaborate-message-printed-by-polkit-when-disconnecting-fr.patch,
          d/p/0.116/Error-message-raised-on-every-systemctl-start-in-emergenc.patch:
          Reduce messages to stderr from polkit agents, in particular when using
          "systemctl reboot" on a ssh connection or when using "systemctl start"
          in systemd emergency mode
        - d/p/0.116/Fix-a-critical-warning-on-calling-polkit_permission_new_s.patch:
          Fix critical warnings when calling polkit_permission_new_sync() with
          no D-Bus system bus
        - d/p/0.116/Possible-resource-leak-found-by-static-analyzer.patch:
          Fix a potential use-after-free in polkit agents
        - d/p/0.116/pkttyagent-PolkitAgentTextListener-leaves-echo-tty-disabl.patch:
          Re-enable echo if the tty agent is killed by SIGINT or SIGTERM
          or suspended with SIGTSTP
      * Add more bug fixes backported from earlier upstream releases
        - d/p/0.108/PolkitAgent-Avoid-crashing-if-initializing-the-server-obj.patch:
          Fix a segfault when a library user like flatpak attempts to register
          a polkit agent with no system bus available (Closes: #923046)
        - d/p/0.111/Add-a-FIXME-to-polkitprivate.h.patch:
          Make it more obvious that polkitprivate.h was never intended to be API
        - d/p/0.114/polkitpermission-Fix-a-memory-leak-on-authority-changes.patch:
          Fix a memory leak
        - d/p/0.113/PolkitSystemBusName-Retrieve-both-pid-and-uid.patch:
          Avoid a use of the deprecated polkit_unix_process_new()
      * d/*.symbols: Add Build-Depends-Package metadata
      * d/policykit-1.lintian-overrides: Override systemd unit false positives.
        The systemd unit is only for on-demand D-Bus activation, and is not
        intended to be started during boot, so an [Install] section and a
        parallel LSB init script are not necessary.
      * Stop building libpolkit-backend as a shared library.
        Its API was never declared stable before upstream removed it in
        0.106. Nothing in Debian depended on it, except for polkitd itself,
        which now links the same code statically.
        This is a step towards being able to use the current upstream release of
        polkit and patch in the old localauthority backend as an alternative to
        the JavaScript backend, instead of using the old 0.105 codebase and
        patching in essentially every change except the JavaScript backend,
        which is becoming unmanageable.
        - Remove the example null backend, which is pointless now that we've
          removed the ability to extend polkit.
        - Remove obsolete conffile 50-nullbackend.conf on upgrade
        - Remove the directory that previously contained 50-nullbackend.conf
          after upgrading or removing policykit-1
        - Remove obsolete dh_makeshlibs override for the null backend
      * d/policykit-1.bug-control: Add systemd, elogind versions to bug reports.
        reportbug doesn't currently seem to interpret
        "Depends: default-logind | logind" as implying that it should include
        the version number of the package that Provides logind in bug reports.
        Workaround for #934472.
      * Change the policykit-1 package from Architecture: any to
        Architecture: linux-any, and remove the consolekit [!linux-any]
        dependency. consolekit is no longer available in any Debian or
        debian-ports architecture, even those for non-Linux kernels.
        (Closes: #918446)
      * Standards-Version: 4.4.0 (no changes required)
      * Switch to debhelper-compat 12
        - d/control: Add ${misc:Pre-Depends}
      * Switch to dh_missing and abort on uninstalled files
        (patch taken from experimental, thanks to Michael Biebl)
