For the first point, you are right, the final hyphen makes a big difference and now I am free of the dbus delay and can reach a GUI through Lightdm. But the other issue persists: root@dserver:~# apt install --purge policykit-1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: policykit-1 : Depends: libpolkit-agent-1-0 (= 0.105-25+devuan4) but 0.105-25 is to be installed Depends: libpolkit-backend-1-0 (= 0.105-25+devuan4) Depends: libpolkit-gobject-1-0 (= 0.105-25+devuan4) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I'm going to post you the output of some commands with the hope it may help you to understand: root@dserver:~# cat /etc/apt/preferences cat: /etc/apt/preferences: No such file or directory root@dserver:~# ls -l /etc/apt/preferences.d/ total 0 Like I mentioned on my previous post, the system I'm using for this tests is a Virtualbox VM with Debian server installed with a netinstall image and after that I install the metapackage task-xfce-desktop, but I did not change any preference from the stock that comes from Debian root@dserver:~# apt policy policykit-1 policykit-1: Installed: 0.105-25 Candidate: 0.105-25+devuan4 Version table: 0.105-25+devuan4 500 500 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf/main amd64 Packages *** 0.105-25 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status root@dserver:~# apt policy libpolkit-agent-1-0 libpolkit-agent-1-0: Installed: 0.105-25 Candidate: 0.105-25+devuan4 Version table: 0.105-25+devuan4 500 500 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf/main amd64 Packages *** 0.105-25 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status root@dserver:~# apt policy libpolkit-backend-1-0 libpolkit-backend-1-0: Installed: 0.105-25 Candidate: 0.105-25 Version table: *** 0.105-25 500 500 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status root@dserver:~# apt policy libpolkit-gobject-1-0 libpolkit-gobject-1-0: Installed: 0.105-25 Candidate: 0.105-25 Version table: *** 0.105-25 500 500 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status If you need more info don't hesitate to ask for it.
