Package: systemd-shim Version: 10-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, I am running sysvinit-core based desktop Debian system (sid). When recently trying to dist-upgrade, libpam-systend package requires systemd-shim version >=10-4~ but there is no such version in repositories. The only alternative is replacing sysvinit-core with systemd-sysv i.e. running systemd as init system. This renders package systemd-shim unusable. root@hpsiddie:/home/manul# apt-get dist-upgrade -d sysvinit-core+ libpam-systemd+ Reading package lists...
