Tbh, I don't know the aptitude resolver algorithm and how we could convince it to prefer systemd-sysv on upgrade. Looking at the existing package dependencies, they look correct to me. >> From my POV, this should either be reassigned to aptitude (maybe they >> can do something about this) or to release-notes, documenting that >> aptitude should not be used on dist-upgrades in the way you did. > > The issue doesn't happen with aptitude dist-upgrade, it only happens > with aptitude upgrade. > >> Is "aptitude upgrade" actually supposed to be used on dist-upgrades? > > Whether or not one should use aptitude flips around between releases so > I believe people will be using it whether or not we recommend it for a > particular release. > I don't see a way to influence aptitude from within the "init" meta-package. We could change the transitional sysvinit package, which currently pre-depends on "init", and add an explicit Depends: systemd-sysv or Recommends: systemd-sysv (untested). I fear though, that this might break other (documented) upgrade paths, e.g. for users which want to stick with sysvinit-core. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
