debian stretch found bugs

this post will be updated with bugs found in debian stretch...

systemctl ::: running as a regular user, using pkexec as gui to authenticate, after asking permission still does does not allow to enable/disable services, is does allow start/stop.

example...

# systemctl enable dnsmasq
Synchronizing state of dnsmasq.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable dnsmasq
update-rc.d: error: Permission denied

... workaround ::: pkexec systemctl enable dnsmasq

haddock ::: generated documentation links to invalid java script.

at java script console...

MathJax.js?config=Te…MS-MML_HTMLorMML:32 WARNING: cdn.mathjax.org has been retired. Check https://www.mathjax.org/cdn-shutting-down/ for migration tips.

... problem is in...

# grep -r 'MathJax.js' /usr/lib/*
Binary file /usr/lib/ghc/bin/haddock matches

... workaround ::: use sed to parse generated files (this message will soon be updated, with the actual code... or maybe i'll just wait for the fix, is quite unnoticeable)
