   * Add debian/policykit.init: Create /var/run/PolicyKit if it does not exist.
     This happens if /var/run is on a tmpfs.
   * debian/rules: Install init script.

My /var/run is on the same partition as everything else on my system. Still I had to "sudo mkdir /var/run/PolicyKit" to get this running. It had not been set up by default.

I dist-upgraded from a fresh Gutsy install yesterday evening (23 Feb 08).

Steffen's suggestion fixed HAL and about 8 other things that all depended on the PolicyKit working. I executed the "sudo mkdir /var/run/PolicyKit" command and then "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to resolve/finish the upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy Alpha 6. Thanks very much. 03/12/2008
