Hello!

Commands like "systemctl reboot" or "systemctl halt" fails to execute.

Description:
systemd-198 included a new feature:
> Inhibitors are now honored and listed by "systemctl
> suspend", "systemctl poweroff" (and similar) too, not only
> GNOME. These commands will also list active sessions by
> other users.

The feature itself works. Sadly systemd doesn't clean up the files in the directory /run/systemd/sessions, after a user logged out from the session. This leads to the situation, that systemd believes a closed session stays in the condition of "closing" forever!

Additional info:
* package version(s): occurs since systemd-198, but foundation of the bug itself occurs at least since systemd-197
* an upstream patch is available: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62676
* users of tty, ssh or shell-scripts are affected
* (currently) desktop-environments or Ctrl+Alt+Delete are not affected (use other code to execute command)

Steps to reproduce:
1. user logs in
2. root logs in
3. root logs out
4. user executes "systemctl reboot"
5. reboot fails and complains about that root is still logged in

I suggested to add the upstream patch to systemd.
Rationale:
-> patch comes from upstream and is accepted
-> patch is small
-> bug breaks major features

Thanks!
This task depends upon

...and if you look at the package, I already applied this patch to systemd-201-2.

Great! I didn't checked the package in the meantime!
Seems to be included in in systemd-202.
