Source: systemd Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
I've chosen to keep away from systemd and systemd related packages, but I haven't been paying enough attention and ended up with these packages installed on my system: $ dpkg --get-selections | egrep systemd libsystemd-daemon0:amd64 install libsystemd-id128-0:amd64 install libsystemd-id128-0:i386 install libsystemd-journal0:amd64 install libsystemd-journal0:i386 install libsystemd-login0:amd64 install All the above packages are 'Priority: optional'. I also have package policykit-1 on hold, as it's attempting to install more systemd related packages: $ apt-get install policykit-1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libpam-systemd systemd systemd-sysv Suggested packages: systemd-ui The following packages will be REMOVED: sysvinit-core The following NEW packages will be installed: libpam-systemd systemd systemd-sysv The following held packages will be changed: policykit-1 The following packages will be upgraded: policykit-1 1 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 1 to remove and 6 not upgraded. policykit-1 is also 'Priority: optional'. I already removed quite a few gnome-related packages from my system as they have dependencies to systemd related packages. I don't use gnome and I can live without. Still... Attempting to purge the systemd related packages leeds to this: # apt-get --purge remove libsystemd-daemon0:amd64 libsystemd-id128-0:amd64 libsystemd-journal0:amd64 libsystemd-login0:amd64 The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: policykit-1 : Depends: libpolkit-agent-1-0 (>= 0.105) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libpolkit-backend-1-0 (>= 0.99) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libpolkit-gobject-1-0 (>= 0.101) but it is not going to be installed Depends: consolekit but it is not going to be installed Depends: dbus E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. Alright... Adding policykit-1 to the list: # apt-get --purge remove libsystemd-daemon0:amd64 libsystemd-id128-0:amd64 libsystemd-journal0:amd64 libsystemd-login0:amd64 policykit-1 ...
