[SOLVED] PolicyKit1: Passed session and the session the caller is in differs

Hi!

After upgrading to Excalibur I started to get the error:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Passed session and the session the caller is in differs

To fix the error I've removed
libpolkit-gobject-consolekit-1-0 version is 126-2devuan1+excalibur1

instead of it libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 of 126-2devuan1+excalibur1 version was installed

I hope this will be useful

Thank you very much, that was very useful!
(and it was first result in ddg search on this error)
I was trying to get to work different "polkit"s after Daedalus > Excalibur upgrade.
I installed mate-polkit and xfce-polkit, but none of them was working, until I made apt install libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0, and it removed libpolkit-gobject-1-0-consolekit  libpolkit-gobject-consolekit-1-0
(I guess all this mess is because my system is very old, started with devuan1 and then dist-upgraded every time)
