It looks like installing udisks-2 to SLOT 2 would mean installing into
a new slot.  I don't think that will fix the behavior I described
below.  I think I need to upgrade one of the currently installed
udisks slots to udisks-2.  Is that correct, or am I misunderstanding
and I should just follow your instructions?
