https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/39176

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 5.18.19_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

polkit-0.120_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

The `polkitd` user should be the owner of `/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/` and `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/`.

### Actual behaviour

The owner of those folders was `root` and I had to manually change it.

### Steps to reproduce

use polkitd

Comment:
This seems wrong, polkit should be able to read those files.

This seems wrong, polkit should be able to read those files not write them.

Edit: never mind, it does own them and this is already setup in the template.
There sounds like your polkit packages INSTALL script did not run for some reason.

A similar thing just happened to me. `/var/lib/sddm` and its subolders aren't owned by sddm but should be and it's also in the install script. I don't know if it's been like this or just suddenly changed but I suddenly started getting and error.
Force reinstalling fixed the base folder, but not it's subfolders and files.

Comment:
It is in the install script, it creates the `/var/lib/sddm` folder with the right user. For some reason this didn't happen on your system, not sure by who files in this folder should be owned by, but if its different than it should be then its related to sddm itself and not xbps since it doesn't create any files there.

Can't really tell what happened after the fact, if the INSTALL script was ever run since you force reinstalled it already, so the package state prior to that is lost.

Well I don't think I have force reinstalled polkit. What can I check?

Comment:
`xbps-query -p state polkit` output would be interesting, `xbps-reconfigure -f polkit` or `xbps-reconfigure -f sddm` should have fixed it.

Comment:
`xbps-query -p state polkit` only outputs `installed`.

I just installed void on another pc and I had the same problem with `/var/lib/sddm/.config`.
