Workaround: killall polkitd When a policy/pkla file is changed, the change is detected automatically, but not immediately. Hi Miloslav,
I am afraid that the if-then solution has one unpleasant side-effect, this time in relation with the preuninstall scriptlet.
if [ -n "$pid" ]; then
kill "$pid"
fi
There is very small chance that the kill command would fail, e.g. because the polkitd process has been terminated right between the dbus-send query (and therefore $pid is set) and the kill command. If the kill command fails in the preun section then the uninstallation is aborted. Do you find it to be an expected/required behavior?
[ -n "$pid" ] && kill "$pid" || :
has the advantage that it always pass.
