Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 204-14
Severity: serious

systemd-sysv conflicts with sysvinit-core, which is required.

This is particularly problematic since libpam-systemd alternatively depends on 
systemd-sysv. On my testing install, APT's solution when asked to upgrade 
systemd is to remove sysvinit-core:
# LANG=C apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and 
are no longer required:
  libcolamd2.8.0 lp-solve xulrunner-29
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  sysvinit-core
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  systemd-sysv
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libpam-systemd libsystemd-daemon0 libsystemd-id128-0 libsystemd-journal0 
libsystemd-login0 systemd
6 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Removing libpam-systemd isn't too tempting neither:
# LANG=C apt-get remove libpam-systemd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libcolamd2.8.0 libmodemmanagerqt1 libnetworkmanagerqt1 lp-solve xulrunner-29
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  colord hplip kde-plasma-desktop libpam-systemd network-manager plasma-nm 
plasma-widget-networkmanagement policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome 
printer-driver-postscript-hp udisks2
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 11 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

I managed to solve this safely by installing systemd-shim.

I was surprised to see APT propose the removal of a required package. I didn't 
test how that would go, but if that's not a problem, something must be wrong 
with its priority field. I'll save my system from such an experimentation and 
let others decide if this needs to be reassigned.

Correct, systemd-sysv has a Conflicts/Replaces against sysvinit-core so
it is actually possible to switch between different init systems.

This is not a bug but intentional and necessary. Thus closing the bug
report.
