Hi kaya,

policykit-1 depends on libpam-systemd; however:
Package libpam-systemd:amd64 is not configured yet.

First of all, pls. be informed, that such an issue/error/problem is not plesk-related at all and therefore, you should open a thread at => "Open Topics" and not in a Plesk-related forum.

Second, pls. make sure to resolve possible issues at your software package manager, before you continue with further updates/upgrades/patches or (de-)installations. You will never be able to continue with "apt", "aptitude" or "dpkg" - commands, if your current state are half-/unfinished package installations.


Now let's get back to some suggestions:

First, pls. try to finish your current unfinished package installations with the commands:

apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get -f install

If this doesn't work for you and you are still at the very same state, pls. consider to update/upgrade your current installed software packages with the commands:

apt-get clean
apt-get update
aptitude upgrade

( I don't suggest "apt-get upgrade", because "apt-get" won't offer ( possible ) available update/upgrade options, as "aptitude" does. )​

Afterwards, pls. use again the command:

apt-get -f install

or/and

dpkg --configure -a

... and post possible errors/issues from your command line, for further investigations ( consider to use CODE - brackets for a better forum view - it's the 4. image - button from the right at the menu on top of each forum text-box. )

Hello UFHH01,

first of all thanks a lot for your answer and sorry for my mistakes

I have tried all the options you have made and i still hang on libpam-systemd:amd64, before i had libpam-systemd:amd64, policykit-1 and colord.

My current situation is:

# dpkg --configure -a
libpam-systemd:amd64 (204-5ubuntu20.19) wird eingerichtet ...
could not read profile /usr/share/pam-configs/PaxHeaders.41249: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/pam-auth-update line 674, <STDIN> line 2.
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes libpam-systemd:amd64 (--configure):
 Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 2 zurück
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 libpam-systemd:amd64

So what is the PaxHeaders? Do you have any idea? I think it has something to do with Git.
Git was the last thing that was installed on my system by my developer.

Hope you can help me to fix this.


Vielen Dank

Hi kaya,

consider to re-install "libpam-systemd" / "systemd" / "systemd-sysv" and "libpam-plesk" or/and consider to ( temporarily ) remove previous installed packages on your server.

aptitude reinstall libpam-systemd systemd systemd-sysv libpam-plesk

You could as well use the "--force-all" option with commands for "dpkg", if you desire to "over-install" a previous installed package.
