I haven't had a chance to bisect this:

Could it be because of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/1027 ?

I don't know how much systemd and polkit are inter-dependent. However, here it seems like the unit file isn't found, for whatever reason.

(from IRC): this happens on x-updates + stdenv-updates at that time.

WFM: none+xmonad session. with the two patches in https://github.com/NixOS/nixos/issues/274.

Well, the service starts but most of things like (un)mounting and suspending didn't work (at least for me).

Let's continue on NixOS/nixpkgs#1027, so it's not on more places.

Can someone close this?
