I know systemd-184 is masked, but I feel that with some effort this can be fixed.
When I try :
Code:
# systemctl start polkit.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit polkit.service failed to load: File exists. See system logs and 'systemctl status polkit.service' for details.

Code:
# systemctl status polkit.service
polkit.service - Authorization Manager
     Loaded: error (Reason: File exists)
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:polkit(8)
     CGroup: name=systemd:/system/polkit.service

journalctl:
Code:

Jul 04 17:33:43 Light dbus[249]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' unit='polkit.service'
Jul 04 17:33:43 Light dbus[249]: [system] Activation via systemd failed for unit 'polkit.service': Unit polkit.service failed to load: File exists.
 See system logs and 'systemctl status polkit.service' for details.

Does it mean some file already exists, which should only be created by polkit?
How can I figure out what "file" already exists? Thanks.

Solved:
I disabled policykit-daemon.service and enabled polkit.service, it was fixed.
