            Bug ID: 94209
           Summary: Session-info source: incompatibility with recent
                    systemd
           Product: Spice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: unix agent
          Assignee: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pmattern at arcor.de

A number of so-called compat libs was removed from systemd recently, see
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/4de282c, among other
libsystemd-login.
Even before those libraries had to be enabled by configure option
--enable-compat-libs which was e. g. removed on Arch Linux as of systemd 229.

Spice vdagent on the other hand seems to need libsystemd-login to use systemd
as "session-info source" as running configure on systems lacking the library
fails
> $configure --with-session-info=systemd
> [...]
> checking for LIBSYSTEMD_LOGIN... no
> configure: error: libsystemd-login support explicitly requested, but some \
  required packages are not available

Using ConsoleKit which has been banned from many distributions by now or no
session-info source at all isn't really an option so it seems that
spice-vdagent has to get adjusted.

Tests performed on up to date Arch Linux with fff3058 or 0.16.0 (same
findings).
