Description:
since the 0.99.0-4 version of polkit-kde package I notice a strange pause of 10 seconds during the boot of KDE 4.14.1

KDE displays the desktop ( icons, plasmoids ) but suddenly he stops his job for 10 seconds, I can't click on the "K" menu during these 10 seconds,

then after 10 seconds KDE resumes his job, I can hear the sound of a new KDE session ( Kmix icon is displayed ),

If I downgraded to 0.99.0-3 version of polkit-kde package then the bug is gone, no problems, there is no 10 seconds pause at the boot of KDE,

so there is something wrong in 0.99.0-4 version of the polkit-kde package, why this strange pause of 10 seconds with this version of polkit-kde package ?


Additional info:
* package version(s) polkit-kde 0.99.0-4
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

- upgrade to polkit-kde 0.99.0-4
- you will notice a 10 seconds pause during the boot of KDE when he wants to display the KDE desktop
- downgrading to 0.99.0-3 version solves the problem
This task depends upon

I solved the bug by rebuilding the polkit-kde package with makepkg and the same PKGBUILD,

so the current package seems to have been built with maybe wrong version of dependencies or a bad source code ?

I think that Andrea Scarpino should rebuild the polkit-kde package, something went wrong when he built his package ( bad version of some dependencies ? Bad source code, out of sync ? )

a 0.99.0-5 version of this package is highly recommended for all users, in order to be sure that the most recent source code of polkit-kde is really used by the PKGBUILD
   PKGBUILD (0.7 KiB)

potomac, does rebuilding in a clean chroot fix it though? Install dev-tools and run extra-<arch>-build.

rebuilding with "makepkg" ( the classic method ) solves the problem

I am not sure to understand the concept of "a clean chroot" ?

I always use "makepkg" when I want to create or rebuild a package

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot

All packages in the repos are built in a clean chroot. If rebuilding this way doesn't fix your issue, BaSh simply rebuilding the package won't do anything.

I have tried with the "clean chroot method" :

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot

the polkit-kde package was now built in a clean chroot environnement, and it fixes the bug, exactly the same effect if I use the "makepkg" classic method,

so Andrea Scarpino should now rebuild the polkit-kde package, we are sure now that something went wrong when Andrea built his package,

Andrea should also check if his "clean chroot" is really clean, because the same problem could occur the next time

I didn't build the package, Felix did :-)
