Hi Sebastian,

Why would it not migrate (if unblocked)?
What is the problem here?
The whole point of
  xfce-polkit | mate-polkit

providing a choice, is that mate-polkit
can provide the dependency for Trixie,
if xfce-polkit is not available.

I'm running Trixie here. If I remove xfce-polkit,
I am still having no problem installing xfce4.


Regards,
Peter
