Jenkins builds occasionally fail with "authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to authenticate action 'org.libvirt.unix.manage'"
E.g. https://jenkins.tails.boum.org/view/RM/job/reproducibly_build_Tails_ISO_testing/68/console. I've seen this happen a few times recently. I don't recall seeing it in the past so I'm pretty sure that's a recent regression.
According to the Journal on isoworker8.iguana
, polkit.service
was running at that time.
I see the same error in the Journal for libvirtd.service
:
libvirtd[468]: authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to authenticate action 'org.libvirt.unix.manage'
I did not check whether this happens on all workers, but it should be easy to extract this info by grep'ing the console logs in Jenkins artifacts directory.
