Subject: bug#52051: [core-updates-frozen] cannot login ('org.freedesktop.login1' service times out)

Hello,

I've found a workaround: restarting elogind via SSH resolved the issue.

I guess itt may be a race between elogind and dbus-system (elogind gets
started before dbus-system is fully up, and the communication with the
session bus is somehow crippled from there?).

I'll experiment with the elogind service a bit, adding a dumb sleep to
its start slot to see if it prevents the race.

Thank you,

Maxim
