* Disable upstart-sysv package. (LP: #1585589) -- Martin Pitt <martin.p...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:51:51 +0200 ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585589 Title: drop upstart-sysv Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with init 1.33ubuntu2 and I'm noticing that it does now pre-depend on "systemd-sysv" instead of "systemd-sysv | upstart-sysv". Since init is essential and upstart-sysv conflicts with systemd-sysv this means it is not possible to install Upstart in a sane way anymore. In case Upstart is not supported anymore maybe all related packages should be removed from the yakkety repository then (since Upstart can't be installed anymore with apt for the reasons above) to avoid confusion.
