Thanks. I have looked through these and, again, I can see no other regerences to
either elogind or systemd that might explain this.
However, all 4 examples you have given relate to builds for experimental. Is
that always the case? If so, I wonder if this is related to the presence in
experimental of libpam-elogind-compat?
