[Solved] libpolkit-qt-5-1-1 kept back after ASCII --> Beowulf upgrade

Hello:

I had been putting off upgrading from ASCII to Beowulf for the longest while but now it is done.
A new upgraded VirtualBox installation is in place and everything seems to be working.

groucho@devuan:~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 4.19.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.171-2 (2021-01-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
groucho@devuan:~$

I did get an unasked for Firefox-ESR, maybe it is part of a metapackage from the ASCII installation?

What I cannot seem to find information on is libpolkit-qt5-1-1 being kept back:

[root@devuan ~]# apt update && apt install -f && apt upgrade

The following packages have been kept back:

[root@devuan ~]#

Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks in advance,

A.

Because it is the same thing in/with a different command?

I tried looking at reasons for this:

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:
 libpolkit-qt5-1-1 : Depends: libpam-systemd
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

So then I tried to see if I could install the missing dependency:

[root@devuan ~]# apt install libpam-systemd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done

Note, selecting 'libpam-elogind' instead of 'libpam-systemd'   <------------  this is the clue?

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libcgmanager0 liblz4-1:i386 libnih-dbus1 libnih1
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  elogind:i386 libacl1:i386 libattr1:i386 libelogind0 libelogind0:i386 libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0

The following NEW packages will be installed:

After this operation, 2204 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
[root@devuan ~]#

Now, seeing that I did an ASCII --> Beowulf dist-upgrade as per the pertinent instructions, why is this happening?
Was something missing in my ASCII?
Did I miss something whiole installing?

Do I have to install libpam-elogind?
Is consolekit no longer used?
I recall it was the one I had to use for the SLiM/XFCE combination.

Thanks you both for your input.

Cheers,

Re: [Solved] libpolkit-qt-5-1-1 kept back after ASCII --> Beowulf upgrade

Hello Altoid et all...
I remember this issue from dev ASCII days. Here is a very helpful post:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=17834#p17834
I use the Cinnamon Desktop which implies the lightdm Display Manager. But, the consolekit and logind question is the same.
Once you resolve the thing in ASCII properly, there is nothing in the way to an
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt auto-remove
anymore. I could repeat it on ASCII systems using XFCE4 and Cinnamon systems.
I have followed fred43's instructions to the letter and I was successful.
Good luck.

That looks fairly normal to me. That should fix the libpolkit-qt5-1-1 issue, does it?

Don't know, havent tried.
The thing is that my Beowulf VM, which does not have BackInTime installed, does not have this problem:

root@devuan:~# uname -a

root@devuan:~#

Seems that BackInTime needs this chain to be complete ...

[root@devuan ~]# 
aptitude why libpolkit-qt5-1-1
i   backintime-qt4       Depends  backintime-common (= 1.1.24-0.1)
i A backintime-common    Depends  python3-keyring                 
i A python3-keyring      Suggests libkf5wallet-bin                
i A libkf5wallet-bin     Depends  libkf5configwidgets5 (>= 4.96.0)
i A libkf5configwidgets5 Depends  libkf5auth5 (>= 4.96.0)         
i A libkf5auth5          Depends  libpolkit-qt5-1-1 (>= 0.112.0)  
[root@devuan ~]#

But then ...

groucho@devuan:~$ aptitude why-not  libpolkit-qt5-1-1
Automatically installed, current version 0.112.0-5, priority optional
The candidate version 0.112.0-6 has priority optional
No dependencies require to remove libpolkit-qt5-1-1        <-----------
groucho@devuan:~$

And ...

groucho@devuan:~$ aptitude why-not libpam-elogind
i   libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0 Conflicts libpam-elogind
groucho@devuan:~$

The often unread Release Notes for Beowulf say:

Both slim and lightdm will work with either libpam-elogind or consolekit.
Slim is the default login manager for Xfce. Lightdm is the default for
the other desktops.

If No dependencies require to remove libpolkit-qt5-1-1 it may be worthwhile leaving things as they are for the time being.
It could be that the libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0 conflict with libpam-elogind eventually gets sorted out. (?)

Makes sense?

Cheers,

A.

Re: [Solved] libpolkit-qt-5-1-1 kept back after ASCII --> Beowulf upgrade

i dont know i dont use backintime. Ill get on my other machine running beowulf soon and see what happens when i install backintime.

going forward though i believe elogind is the preferred choice over consolekit?

Edit: are you using the lxqt desktop maybe? You didnt say.

I have no issues installing and using backintime-qt4 using my xfce4 partition, polkit for that is gnome.

Looks like you have backintime-qt4 installed ??

Do you use any kde apps ?

Sorry for the slip-up, that's what happens with not enough coffee after a bad night's sleep.

Yes, that's quite evidently backintime-qt4.

Thanks, I'll see about trying to get it done this weekend.

It seems that consolekit is deprecated and maybe on its way out. (?)

Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.105-25+devuan8

policykit-1 dependency is declared as "logind" instead of "elogind", forcing to use de deprecated (no buster yet) consolekit.    <- my highlighting

Thanks a lot for your input.

Re: [Solved] libpolkit-qt-5-1-1 kept back after ASCII --> Beowulf upgrade

Hello:

... see about trying to get it done this weekend.

Had an idle half hour while waiting for something, like we are all doing these days.
Upgrade worked, without issues.  =^D

Then I checked to see:

groucho@devuan:~$ apt list | grep -i installed | grep consolekit

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

groucho@devuan:~$

OK, consolekit is no longer installed.

I went further and found this:

groucho@devuan:~$ apt list | grep -i consolekit

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

So I asked:

i   slim Depends default-logind | logind | consolekit
groucho@devuan:~$

What does this mean in practical terms? eg: for slim which I am fond of.

Thanks in advance,

why are you using apt list ?

if you want to see what is on your system use dpkg

dpkg -l | grep -i consolekit

Gives me information of what's installed from the apt repertoire?
I find why and why-not quite enlightening.

Re: [Solved] libpolkit-qt-5-1-1 kept back after ASCII --> Beowulf upgrade

groucho@devuan:~$ aptitude why consolekit
i   slim Depends default-logind | logind | consolekit
groucho@devuan:~$

It means slim needs something that provides default-logind or one of the others on that line. If a package depends on libpam-system | libpam-elogind, it'll complain about missing libpam-systemd if neither of those is there. Install libpam-elogind first and anything that wants libpam-systemd will be happy. (See the Provides line below)

$ apt show libpam-elogind
Package: libpam-elogind
Version: 241.4-2
Priority: optional
Source: elogind
Provides: default-logind, libpam-systemd, logind
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.28), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), elogind (= 241.4-2), libpam-runtime
Conflicts: libpam-ck-connector
Breaks: libpam-systemd
Replaces: libpam-systemd

So ...
slim depends on default-logind or logind or consolekit.
Right?

My question was aimed more at the existence of consolekit as a residual configuration component:   

groucho@devuan:~$ apt list | grep -i consolekit

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

I see ...

Seeing that the residual consolekit is there after I installed elogind, something will surely break if I remove it, right?
Maybe I am giving the residual aspect of it too much importance. (?)

Thanks in advance.

It means slim needs something that provides default-logind or one of the others on that line.

I'm writing on this again as I have found this in /var/log/slim.log:

slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
slim: Consolekit::open_session: Unable to open session: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files
slim: falling back to PAM session
groucho@devuan:/var/log$

It would seem that slim is still looking for consolekit in spite of it being replaced by elogind.
Why is that?

I am being able to log in without problems.

Thanks in advance,

A.

Re: [Solved] libpolkit-qt-5-1-1 kept back after ASCII --> Beowulf upgrade

Sorry, I don't know the answer. I see the "not provided by any .service files" a lot, and I just ignore it. I assume it's there to remind us all that we're not running systemd.

Try this:

apt -s remove consolekit

and see what it wants to take with it.

Why is that?

SLiM has been dead since 2013 so it doesn't support logind sessions correctly.

Use a different display manager. Or no display manager at all, they're just bloat anyway tongue

Still works ...
It's just the entry in slim.log.

I see.

Head_on_a_Stick wrote:

I've always liked this one.

Head_on_a_Stick wrote:

Tried that and had all sort of permission problems.
Si I installed slim and they all went away instantly.

So I'll keep it. 8^P!

Thanks for your input.

Hmm ...
Both the slim 1.3.6-5.1+devuan6 (merged beowulf/main) and 1.3.6-5.2+devuan1 (/merged beowulf /unstable) have default-logind | logind | consolekit as depends.

Depends slim 1.3.6-5.2+devuan1
libc6 (>= 2.14), libck-connector0, libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.9.14), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libjpeg62-turbo (>= 1.3.1), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), libpng16-16 (>= 1.6.2-1), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), libx11-6, libxext6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxmu6, libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.3), debconf (>= 1.2.9) | debconf-2.0, dbus, default-logind | logind | consolekit, x11-xserver-utils, lsb-base

Depends slim 1.3.6-5.1+devuan6
libc6 (>= 2.17), libck-connector0, libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.9.14), libgcc-s1 (>= 3.0), libjpeg62-turbo (>= 1.3.1), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), libpng16-16 (>= 1.6.2-1), libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), libx11-6, libxext6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxmu6, libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.3), debconf (>= 1.2.9) | debconf-2.0, dbus, default-logind | logind | consolekit, x11-xserver-utils, lsb-base

I looked to see if it was worth installing the unstable and check slim.log but I'd probably have an issue with libc6 (>= 2.17).

Cheers,

A.
