For the record: The following irregularities have already surfaced for fresh installations using the current state of the repositories: Installing SSH server in combination with a desktop environment that originally depends on consolekit session management results in elogind being installed (peculiar, but not harmful per se) and a mismatch of the policykit backend libraries - this definitely *is* a problem! Note that in each of the cases listed below both consolekit and elogind are present (weird, but not a problem in itself) and the elogind PAM module libpam-elogind is installed, while the consolekit PAM module libpam-ck-connector is missing - which makes more or less sense, as these two are mutually exclusive. *However*, and this is the crux, given that exact constellation it would be correct to also have the matching libpolkit-(backend|gobject)-elogind-1-0 packages, but instead the corresponding *-consolekit-* packages are installed. Thus, unfortunately something is still slightly off with the polkit dependencies. 1.
