There is no fork of logind *required* today. This bug would be fixed, today, by a dependency on 'systemd-shim | systemd-sysv', which is what I asked for in the bug. > There's little point to adding a virtual package with no providers yet, > because until the cloud of uncertainty leading to 727708 gets resolved, > a (direct or indirect) dependency on "systemd-sysv | empty-alternative" > seems unlikely to fly, and seems likely to lead to more rants against > the GNOME maintainers for depending on systemd. Of course, because that would be forcing a non-default init system (forcing installation of systemd-sysv before the decision has been taken on the default init system). As things stand today, a dependency on systemd-shim | systemd-sysv would fix the bug for our users without forcing a change of init system on upgrade. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
