Right, it's normal that sysvinit when installed would cause upstart to be removed, and vice-versa -- you can only have one init at a time.
ubuntu-minimal depends on upstart, not sysvinit, so that was right. The reason 1.19 didn't upgrade automatically is probably bug #58974, it thinks it's an essential package. Unless I've misinterpreted this bug, in which case could you give a bit more detail for those of us with the foggy brain ;), I'll mark this as a duplicate of that bug Thanks, -- Sysvinit "wants" to install and replace upstart https://launchpad.net/bugs/59039 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
