Thanks Mark and Dimitris. 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.

had the same issue with mate.
iirc, consolekit is to blame. remove all related consolekit packages
first, and they'll be replaced by elogind ones. (if they don't, install
them by hand).
then dist-upgrade normally.

Hi,

I just pushed a new verion of policykit to beowulf. It could be related 
to that.

Do you gave elogind installed?

What does apt upgrade try to do?

[DNG] why is dist-upgrade trying to remove mate

2020-01-02 Thread Gregory Nowak 
Hi All,
I just did apt-get update followed by dist-upgrade on a Beowulf
system, and I get this:

# apt-get dist-upgrade

I did apt-get install on brltty and the mate packages to mark them as
manually installed, but apt-get update dist-upgrade again still
insists on removing them. Is this a known issue? If yes, then what is
the work around. I don't want to uninstall a well running desktop just
so I can install it again. Thanks. As far as install report for this
system, it was upgraded to Beowulf from a minimal fresh Ascii install
back in June with no problems.
