After posting it I got one "Failed to enable unit: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)"

Issue appears new with systemd 238 and only occurs if polkit is used for authentication of a none root user instead of using sudo.

Looks relevant: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8473

I got the same issue with v238, and after building the latest commit of systemd (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/5c24d6367597ac99327676c3c8df69bdf67952a3), `systemctl daemon-reload` works fine again.

PS. I built the latest commit instead of cherry-picking because v238 does not build now: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8456
PS2. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8296 adds /usr/bin/resolvconf, which conflicts with the openresolv package. I disable systemd-resolved (-Dresolve=false) to workaround it.

e63ebf71edd7947f29389c72e851d8df5c7bedda core: when reloading, delay any actions on journal and dbus connections
848e863acc51ecfb0f3955c498874588201d9130 basic/macros: rename noreturn into _noreturn_ (#8456)
backporting those two commits fixes the issue and allows a successful build on this system
