I have a similar entry, but with UID 991. But I wonder why you don't have |
| 16 |
a polkitd user. Maybe this is your problem? The entry should be like |
| 17 |
this, at least for sys-auth/polkit-0.106-r7: |

|

polkitd:x:129:991:added by portage for |
| 20 |
polkit:/var/lib/polkit-1:/sbin/nologin |
| 21 |

For me, it's still set to /var/empty, which also seems to work. When the |
| 23 |
directory was /dev/null, one of the symptoms was Gnome3 refusing to |
| 24 |
start. But maybe my setup is different because I'm on ~amd64, and the |
| 25 |
polkitd user has been introduced by a version of polkit later than yours. |
