I am using sid and keeping the system updated daily.
Since an update I did yesterday, I am unable to mount removeable drives
as a user. And "suspend" and "shutdown" are grayed out in the dropdown
list of actions for logging out.
I am using, right now the xfce4 desktop.
The problem started after yesterday's update which did this:

----------------
the output of systemctl status udisks2.service
[root@sid ed]# systemctl status udisks2.service
Unit udisks2.service could not be found.
-------------------
locate udisks2 gives much output including, not necessarily in order

I can provide the complete output if needed.

I have not yet tried the solution which worked for the OP, original
poster, namely downgrading to the version of udisks2 found in stretch.
