Still no improvement: # as 'root' % dglob nfs-common || dglob portmap ; echo $? 1 % systemadm ; echo $?

Parsing the above 'dmesg' extract for package names gives: % dmesg | nl | grep "systemd.*Breaking.*cycle" | sed 's,.*job \(.*\)\..*,\1,' dbus avahi-daemon setserial ipmasq A test run of 'aptitude purge dbus avahi-daemon setserial ipmasq' shows it would need to delete 327 packages. Ouch. Following your lead, I'm guessing that the above four packages, and the two before, i.e. 'dbus', 'avahi-daemon', 'setserial', 'ipmasq', 'nfs-common', & 'portmap'; these six packages presumably have buggy Debian boot dependency code. HTH...
