I'm assuming that when you installed devuan, you asked the installer to
install a desktop environment. If so, your result tells me that my
tweaks to the polkit configuration are unnecessary and not the way
devuan is enabling those features. That's important for a few reasons:
1] You didn't get an error message, which tells me devuan installed
polkit on your system. The next question is why.
1.1] Could you look at the result of running the following:
head -qn1 /var/log/dpkg.log*
grep -hm1 polkit /var/log/dpkg.log*
The first should tell us when you installed devuan, and the date of the
second's output is a proxy for telling whether the installer did the
deed itself, or whether whether apt/gdebi/etc did it later.
2] There shouldn't be more than one authorization agent operating. At
best, it's confusing to administer, and at worst could freeze a system.
3] The tweaks I performed are the way the polkit developers want the
system to work, and it did work for me, so what else is going on in
parallel in devuan?
