Created attachment 314627 [details] build.log emerge -1 polkit These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ~] sys-auth/polkit-0.106 [0.105] USE="gtk introspection kde nls pam -debug -examples -systemd (-doc%)" 1,350 kB error: checking for LIBJS... no configure: error: Package requirements (mozjs185) were not met: No package 'mozjs185' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBJS_CFLAGS and LIBJS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. installing spidermonkey-1.8.5-r1 fixes the problem.

I know my new problem is unrelated to this bug report, but since your attention is already on polkit.... ;) My ~amd64 just updated to 0.106 and I notice that polkitd is not running after starting gnome -- causing some really weird side-effects.

If the cause is not obvious to you guys I'll file a new bugreport. Thanks!

Yes I have the smae issue: Jun 09 09:29:20 Light systemd[4665]: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/libexec/polkitd: No such file or directory Jun 09 09:29:20 Light systemd[1]: policykit-daemon.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=203 Jun 09 09:29:20 Light systemd[1]: Unit policykit-daemon.service entered failed state. So now polkit is unusable. I can't find polkitd.

I can't find polkitd. Same here, with kde. After upgrading to polkit-0.106, when I do startx (which starts kde on my netbook), I get a kde crash window; in /var/log/messages I see Jun 10 14:26:56 eeepc dbus[1553]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' (using servicehelper) Jun 10 14:26:56 eeepc dbus[1553]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Jun 10 14:26:56 eeepc dbus[1553]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.UDisks' (using servicehelper) Jun 10 14:26:56 eeepc dbus[1553]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks' Jun 10 14:26:56 eeepc dbus[1553]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' (using servicehelper) Jun 10 14:26:56 eeepc dbus[1553]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 Time to downgrade.
Please keep the amount of talking about problems with polkit that are highly unrelated to this bug to a minimum. A quick search presents you enough other bugs to hijack. https://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=polkit Thanks.
I emerged dev-lang/spidermonkey and also did something I found on the forums and had no problems with 0.106. <code> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-926142-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html </code> There seems to be a polkit user privileges conflict going on, the polkit user doesn't have access to the /dev/null device, and so moving their home directory to /var/empty makes it work.

The ebuild has now the correct spidermonkey dependency in Portage, closing
