Kudos to all MATE developers, it is like back in the good old (gnome2)
days, and better :-) xfce (or any gnome3 version) is no longer an
alternative.
I even managed to get a working desktop without systemd or systemd-sysv:
The only problem was to find a version of policykit-1 not depending on
*systemd* and found one: Version 0.105-3.
The other two are dependant:
Version: 0.112-2: libsystemd-login0 (>= 31), systemd
Version: 0.105-6: libsystemd-login0 (>= 31), libpam-systemd
Are there any chances that some version of policykit-1 could stay free
from any *systemd* dependency? Alternately, are there any hopes on a
replacement package for mate-policykit not depending on policykit-1?
I strongly recommend the systemd-must-die package to prevent systemd
components being installed when dist-upgrading without the user being
aware.
