Bug#909192: mate-desktop-environment: Installing sysvinit-core removes mate-desktop-environment
Package: mate-desktop-environment
Version: 1.20.0+5
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I run an updated debian testing/buster system with the odd package from
unstable (e.g. firefox). I use the MATE desktop environment, as well as
systemd as init.
When trying to install sysvinit-core via apt, the suggested solution
will remove mate-desktop-environment and MATE related packages. So apparently
mate-desktop-environment has a dependency on systemd.
I would expect the MATE desktop environment to not depend on a specific init.
kind regards,
Jan Christoph Terasa
