It's in the tree here but all versions are masked. |

To install it, you would have to unmask it. If I recall correctly, |
| 29 |
consolekit is going to be removed and I think go away completely, which |
| 30 |
would explain them all being masked. If that is correct, you will have |
| 31 |
to switch to elogind or use systemd, unless you have some other means of |
| 32 |
providing what that package does. If you run the command above and it |
| 33 |
isn't listed, then it has been removed from the tree already. There was |
| 34 |
discussion about this on -dev. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I made the switch to elogind early on and it was easy enough. I think |
| 37 |
the news item links to a guide. The only thing I did different, I put |
| 38 |
elogind in the default runlevel instead of boot. I rarely reboot here. |

Hope that helps. |
