Please see this page for current repository information.   auto.mirror is now deprecated and you need more than just security in your sources.list.  Hopefully that will fix things.

In the future please enclose terminal output in code tags as corrected above.

The functionality of xfce4-session requires either consolekit or elogind to have a working DM.  It took weeks if not months of collaborative effort to figure out how to get working DMs for all the desktops.  Since you are using startx, that package might not be necessary.  Just for giggles did you try removing "xfce4-session" entirely instead of just one of it's components?

OK . . . here's what irrwahn had to say:

If you install xfce without the meta package as has been suggested by several of us, you should be able to avoid this issue by choosing the packages carefully to avoid the problematic ones.

And this just posted:

YEA! I finally found this post which explains it further:

The consolekit/policykit stuff is complicated.  I don't begin to understand it.   But I do know those dependencies come from the login/display manager(s) which control session management. For xfce that is slim.  Maybe try removing slim and use startx instead.  Something in the xfce4 meta package might be pulling that in.

Rather than trying to remove installed packages, you might try installing ASCII without choosing a desktop then building Xfce from scratch avoiding the meta package and only selecting the packages that you want.  This may or may not work to your satisfaction or even be possible on ASCII.  But in the past it has been a way to get around having to install unwanted, default  packages

This is good news!  Thanks for sharing.

No need to apologize, basati.  Multi-cultural communication is sometimes challenging

At the bottom of every message input box there are helpful links:

The first one takes you to https://dev1galaxy.org/help.php#bbcode which explains the various tags that are available. 

The danger in not doing it the amprolla way is that the banned package filter won't be there to protect from unwanted cruft working it's way into your system.

Your original post - https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=10783#p10783 -  is very hard to read because the terminal output is not formatted with code tags.  I will do the first entry to get you started and you can edit to complete the rest.   On this forum, the clickable code options are above the text input box.

Please format all terminal output with code tags for readability.

@ Basati,

Thank you for putting thought into something that would be very useful for Devuan.  Yes, documentation is needed and has been discussed extensively at times.  msi (also msiism) has been leading the official documentation.  A wiki is already in process here - https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php but currently there has not been much progress.  There is also #devuan-wiki on freenode.   Feel free to add your voice and energy to help push this forward.
