Purging consolekit and related packages brought in some other policykit/elogind packages, and all is well now. It's very possible that a new version of policykit had something to do with forcing consolekit out, though wanting to remove all of mate didn't make that obvious.

It may also be helpful to know that Mailman listadmins in _many_ (most? wouldn't know for sure) cases have been granted and know how to effectively use the Mailman admin WebUI for their supervision of the mailing list but lack access to the server shell, hence their (typical) inability to read/research Mailman's and the MTA's log entries. Also, as a personal observation about my administration of both my own (linuxmafia.com) host + mailing lists and those of several LUGs, although (to date) I've always been willing to spend time investigating subscribers' claims that the mailing list server is losing/refusing their mail, it's inevitably a significant time sink -- and the diagnostic information provided by the user tends to be vague and unreliable. Which, in turn, is in part because a high percentage of those users lack diagnostic information, e.g., I'll ask such a user what the user's outbound MTA logs show about the delivery attempts, and the user has no idea whatsoever, because the user has no access to that data. So, instead, the user _claims_ there were outbound delivery attempts, but is actually just guessing and really knows only that he/she composed mail and handed it off to outbound system software at timestamp X. I can't tell you how many times such a user swore up and down that there was an outbound MTA delivery attempt, I report finding no evidence in my receiving MTA logs, and then days later the user admits that 'Well, actually, I was merely assuming outbound delivery attempts.' So, what I'm saying is: If you're going to chew up the time and effort of a volunteer listadmin, be aware of the limits of your knowledge (especially if you are neither root on your outbound MTA box nor even have shell on it), and provide the most-exact information you have, ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I thought I fixed that, but the test case was only 4.9GB.
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2416
Maybe there's another limit I don't know about. Yeah, there is - 400GB.
man xorriso, under the -compliance option:
"iso_9660_level="number chooses level 1 with ECMA-119 names of the form
8.3 and -file_size_limit<=4g - 1, or level 2 with ECMA-119 names up to
length 32 and the same file_size_limit, or level 3 with ECMA-119
names up to length 32 and -file_size_limit >= 400g -200k. If
necessary -file_size_limit gets adjusted.
Maybe the option in the xorriso command needs to be changed from
-iso-limit 3
to
-compliance iso_9660_level=3
The line looks like this, around line 1100 or 1200,
in /usr/bin/refractasnapshot or refractasnapshot-gui
xorriso -as mkisofs -r -J -joliet-long -l -iso-level 3 ${isohybrid_opt} \
Please let me know if you try that.
Other option is to exclude a bunch of your data and maybe back it up in a
tarball if you want it available for the live system.

After updating the repos in source.list to beowulf I run apt update but some i386 deb packages gave a 404 error so I've added more devuan repos and the error was fixed. Then I've run apt upgrade and while upgrading about 1700 packages some errors popped up: dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rkLWUp/1006-libel-api-java_3.0.0-2_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/maven-repo/javax/el/javax.el-api/3.0/javax.el-api-3.0.pom', which is also in package libservlet3.1-java 8.5.50-0+deb9u1 Preparing to unpack .../1007-libeot0_0.01-5_amd64.deb ...

Just removed both packages. Trying to upgrade the remaining 800 packages was tricky: at first I upgraded network-manager, but to upgrade the other packages was a pain as they wanted to uninstall half of my system . Upgrading libsystemd0 resolved it but uninstalled also network-manager that could be reinstalled afterwards. Most packages upgraded, and the few remaining did by hand. Some more bugs in the after install: xfce4-notifyd was not started at log in with the side effect that network-manager showed the network as disconnected meanwhile it was connected. xfce4-notifyd seems to have only a systemd.unit but no file in /etc/xdg/autostart. I fixed it by adding it to Autostart section of the xfce control panel. Also pulseaudio was not started in Xfce4, so added it also to Autostart. The worst trouble was with firefox-esr, at first start it informed me that: Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox. Create new profile | Quit I just backed up my .mozilla folder to save my bookmarks and settings. I've tried also the tar.gz from mozilla, it was not as kind and started with a new profile without asking just telling me that I could recover my bookmarks by login to their syncWTF. It seems to me that the version detection must be bugged. Creating a new profile and restoring bookmarks,extensions and all other settings by hand was the only thing that helped. KDE worked well.
