[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#873627: udisks2 in sid apparently left me with a borked system in plasma(?)

[Ben Caradoc-Davies]

udisks2 2.7.2-1 also severely impacted the functionality of thunar on 
sid. All filesystems were shown in the sidebar, including things like 
binfmt (about 20-30 or so filsystems). Removable devices were not shown, 
and no eject icon was shown when removable devices were mounted at the 
command line. Workaround was to downgrade to 2.6.5-2. Before filing a 
separate bug report, I will see if the fix for this issue resolves the 
thunar issues.

Downgrade and hold procedure for the benefit of other readers:

I added the following to /etc/apt/source.list:
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20170827T034402Z/ sid main

Then ran the following to downgrade and hold:

apt-get update
apt-get install udisks2=2.6.5-2 libudisks2-0=2.6.5-2
apt-mark hold udisks2 libudisks2-0

A system restart was required.

Kind regards,
