PIDFID breaks pkexec with ConsoleKit session tracking #451
Compiling polkit 124 with ConsoleKit 1.26 and polkit option session_tracking=ConsoleKit breaks launching any application with pkexec.
The following error is generated on the command line:
Error checking for authorization org.freedesktop.policykit.exec: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Process not found.
Also commenting or removing the HAVE_PIDFD_OPEN line from meson.build will fix the issue.
Does this functionality require elogind or systemd? Can an option be added to meson_options.txt to toggle HAVE_PIDFD_OPEN off for systems that it isn't going to work on?
