Could be possible.

This is actually a known issue in systemd and fixing it is still
on my TODO list, I just forget it. The problem here is that the
dbus timeout in systemd is sometimes insufficiently low when
running on old m68k Macs. I have also talked with Lennart about this
and he has no problems improving that to make it work on m68k
hardware.
You see the timeout, but the actual systemctl should be effective
nevertheless.

How did you try to fetch it?

Yeah, will do that later today. Was planning to do that anyway.
Any wishes for additional, pre-installed packages?
