Description Ludwig Nussel 2008-12-02 16:37:06 UTC

ConsoleKit unconditionally removes itself from the pam config in %postun. That means if the package gets updated console logins are no longer recognized by ConsoleKit.

Note that this will also hit fresh installs if we ever need to release a security/maintenance update for ConsoleKit.

Comment 1 Holger Macht 2008-12-07 18:43:25 UTC

But isn't that a pam issue? ConsoleKit would be readded to the pam config on update, no? Otherwise, how to solve, just remove the "pam-config .... -d"?

Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2008-12-08 08:05:22 UTC

The %postun script of the old package runs last so on update pam-config -d is always called last. Common pitfall but apparently not documented in our wiki *sigh*.

Something like this should work:

%postun
if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then
  pam-config -d ...
fi
