What does libpam-elogind provide, and which version are you talking about?
elogind-234.4-2 is in ascii, but beowulf has elogind-241.3-1, i.e. the same
version as Debian.

I think we should fork that package. As for now it is built with libsystemd-dev
not libelogind-dev!

Confirmed by fsmithred.

Maybe not.

OK, how to confirm that?

I think we should send an updated patch to that bug report, including the build
dependency. I don't see how libpam-elogind providing libpam-systemd can fix the
build of udisks2: "using libsystemd-login: yes" is only possible with the link
given above. Or am I missing something?
