Very nice first post! Thank you. I imagine that quite a few users will get sent here to sort things out.
Hope you don't mind that I played a bit with the formatting to make it easier to read.

I am very tired so this will be short.
The package in question should be in jessie-security by now.
Also look at the sources options on this page.
The reason auto.mirror is still mentioned is because that is the repo used on the install isos. But the warning that it is deprecated is also there.
Since your IP has been cleared I hope you won't get snaplocked again.

Centurion_Dan has repackaged policykit-1 and it is now available for testing at jessie-proposed-security main. He suggested using deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan but I don't see why deb.devuan.org wouldn't work as well. But maybe KatolaZ needs to set up that new repo on the deb.devuan mirror. For those who don't know . . . auto.mirror is now deprecated.

Thanks Ralph . . . getting back on topic . . . policykit-1 has been repackaged and is now available for testing at jessie-proposed-security main. Centurion_Dan suggested using
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan but I don't see why deb.devuan.org wouldn't work as well. Maybe KatolaZ needs to set up that new repo on the mirror. For those who don't know . . . auto.mirror is now deprecated.
#2480 Re: Installation » Latest devuan jessie update causing authentication problems » 2018-08-02 20:39:45
I just posted a note to the packaging ninjas to please repackage policykit-1 ASAP to remove the systemd dependencies.

@dev-1-dash-1 . . . as per your note on #d1g-users . . . you are not banned. You are a welcome member of this forum. It looks like you IP was caught by our snaplock as "dubious". I will clear it and you should be back. Maybe ralph.ronnquist will stop by to explain the technical reasons you might have been slammed. Or you can search this forum where this has been discussed elsewhere several times.
#2482 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] policykit-1 0.105-15~deb8u3 requires libpam-systemd » 2018-08-02 20:00:03
OK. I'm awake now. 
I just tried to update my Jessie and got the same message. I'm guessing it needs repackaging to remove that dependency. I will alert the devs and maybe you could file a bug report at bugs.devuan.org to remind them?

#2484 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [Solved] Mate and permissions problem » 2018-08-01 17:43:00
Sorry for digging up an old&solved thread, but link provided by @fsmithred is dead. And I can't find a proper solution to this.
I have very similar issues with permissions as OP:
1. Restart/Shutdown/Suspend/Hibernate icons are greyed out.
2. wicd an vpn client are not showing in notification area (notes is visible)
3. synaptic cannot be launched through pkexec
4. / /boot /home /tmp /var and unmounted cd icons appeared in file manager & desktopI don't have systemd-backend installed. I'm using SLIM and xfce.
Also since ConsoleKit is deprecated is switching to ConsoleKit2 (https://github.com/ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2) a proper solution?
Thanks in advance for any hint.
I think this may provide the content of the dead link or at least similar. SLIM with ASCII should work ootb so not quite why you're having an issue except for synaptic etc for which I have gksu launcher(s). Also please read the ASCII Release Notes if you haven't already.
#2485 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Dual monitor setup with two VGA-connected monitors » 2018-08-01 14:22:32
@a_flj_ . . . does the same thing happen on Debian Stretch? If so, please file a bug upstream. If it's Devuan specific, feel free to provide a patch.
#2486 Re: Installation » Latest devuan jessie update causing authentication problems » 2018-08-01 05:28:03
And do the redirects to the Debian repos work properly? You might find something helpful in this thread if you run into trouble.
#2487 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Slim login screen spans across 2 monitors as if one monitor » 2018-08-01 02:11:48
I moved it back and removed CrowZ from the subject so more people might take a look.
#2488 Re: Installation » Latest devuan jessie update causing authentication problems » 2018-07-31 20:24:12
Just curious . . . Did you set up your mirror according to these instructions?
#2490 Re: Installation » Latest devuan jessie update causing authentication problems » 2018-07-31 14:02:56
Make sure you have the latest sources. auto.mirror is deprecated and deb.devuan.org has replaced pkgmaster.
I knew that this was true starting with ASCII but is it also the preferred sources for jessie also? I got hit with this same problem.
Devuan.org ( https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list ) still shows:
Devuan 1.0.0 Jessie (oldstable)
# /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie main
deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie main
That is because auto.mirror is still default on the install isos. This is at the very top of the page:
/etc/apt/sources.list
IMPORTANT NOTE: auto.mirror is now deprecated and will be decommissioned. Please make sure you have the latest devuan-keyring package with apt-get install devuan-keyring and then point your /etc/apt/sources.list to deb.devuan.org.
Maybe that should be expanded a bit.

#2492 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2018-07-31 00:29:32
Is there a list of Debian packages that depend on systemd that need importing to Devuan or that have been imported but need maintainers?
Here you go. Feel free to scratch your itch. Please look at the d1h for packaging guidance, though iirc one call to Debian has changed. Don't know if that's been fixed yet. Thanks for your interest in wanting to do this. Any questions, just ask.
#2493 Re: Installation » MIYO "install" button seems to do nothing » 2018-07-30 23:33:38
This time, I selected to put the bootloader on a partition.
I don't know your setup but generally the bootloader needs to go on the disk not a specific partition ie. sda not sda1.
#2494 Re: Devuan » A devuan manual, why not? » 2018-07-30 23:15:32
We have already planned to do that. It is the Devuan specific documentation that needs to be written. msi was working on it but has disappeared. Volunteers come and go . . .
@ChuangTzu . . . You have been rather absent. Please don't be a stranger.
#2495 Re: Installation » My devuan_ascii need to be reiniciated. » 2018-07-30 17:16:53
@keos . . . I noticed you listed the devuan_ascii_2.0.0-rc_amd64_desktop-live.iso. Are you aware that the stable version was released in June? An upgraded RC should get you to the same place but using the stable iso is a more direct way to do it.
#2496 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Slim login screen spans across 2 monitors as if one monitor » 2018-07-30 14:33:10
@spacefft . . . as this seems to be a CrowZ specific issue, I moved it to the derivatives forum.
#2497 Re: Documentation » Local Mirror Package Caching using approx and xinetd » 2018-07-30 01:14:53
Hi
Um yeah lost my password
For future reference . . . all you have to do is ping one of the admins to get a new one.
Thought I would/should contribute some tested configs I have here.
The spin offs just from this one could probably fill a small book.
Your contributions are always welcome. Don't be a stranger . . .
#2498 Re: Documentation » Local Mirror Package Caching using approx and xinetd » 2018-07-30 01:03:29
WOW! Nice to see you PeteGozz. It's been way too long . . .

Brave browser from Wikipedia:
History
Brave is developed by Brave Software, which was founded on May 28, 2015 by Brendan Eich and Brian Bondy. On January 20, 2016, Brave Software launched the first version of Brave with a partial ad blocking feature, and announced plans for an ad replacement feature and a revenue sharing program.[13]
In June 2018, Brave released a pay-to-surf testing version of the browser. This version of Brave is preloaded with approximately 250 ads, and sends a detailed log of the user's browsing activity to Brave. Brave announced that expanded trials will follow.[14]
Doesn't sound very private to me.
