Installing the systemd binary package by itself does not switch the init system, you have to install systemd-sysv to do that. You have just demonstrated that yet again. If you don't want the default logind provider, you need to specify the alternative you prefer, that's not really surprising nor unexpected. # apt install openssh-server elogind sysvinit-core --install-recommends Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done sysvinit-core is already the newest version (3.04-1).
