[F17->F18] Fix issues with polkit aka Authorization Manager after reboot

[lionaneesh]

The authorization manager fails to start after the system update. The problem can be fixed by re-installing the polkit and systemd before reboot.

[dgoodwin]

Didn't test the patch per-se just tried to run the command after my fedora-upgrade completed but before reboot and got this:

(root@redhat ~) $ yum reinstall polkit systemd error: db5 error(-30969) from dbenv->open: BDB0091 DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch error: cannot open Packages index using db5 - (-30969) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm CRITICAL:yum.main:

Error: rpmdb open failed

From this thread:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-June/169494.html

I just ran: rm -rf /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*

And the reinstall now worked. May want to incorporate this into the patch but I'm not sure, I think it's safe, I've seen it used before with rpmdb issues.

Able to login fine after reboot.

You mean without re-installing? That can be the case for your system but It doesn't on my Intel core i3 with Fedora 17 x86_64, the yum update somehow causes the Authorization Manager to mess up. The service won't start.

[dgoodwin]

No with reinstalling, I.e. your fix worked. (Or my system wasn't going to break in that manner anyhow)

I believe that this problem happens in past due bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=844167 Can you confirm that you have to reinstall those packages even with selinux-policy-3.10.0-149.fc17 ?

[xsuchy]

@dgoodwin This is exactly the reason why I have rpm --rebuilddb just after yum --releasever=18 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync

@lionaneesh can you please test this fix?
