Hi!
I've spent some time trying to investigate why pkexec started to crash.
It seems that our 'etc' activation script ignored the fact that
/etc/polkit-1 is a symlink to /etc/static/polkit-1, and created a symlink
from /etc/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d to
/etc/static/polkit-1/nullbackend.conf.d.
As a result, I had a symlink from /etc/static/polkit/nullbackend.conf.d to
itself, and pkexec crashed.
