ppc-64 (powermac g5) question
Hello,
I'm trying to install Debian SID on a Power Mac G5 system using the Apr
2021 CD.
After installing a basic text-only system, I replaced systemd with
sysvinit-core. However, most things that I try to install seem to
require systemd.
For example:
# apt-get install xserver-xorg
...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
sysvinit-core
...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
... systemd ... xserver-xorg ...
I'm using this entry in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ sid main
Maybe there is a different repository for packages that do not require
systemd as a prerequisite?
I could try some other GNU/Linux distribution, but I'm familiar with
Debian SID, and I don't run into this situation on any other
architecture (including 32-bit powerpc).
thanks for any information
-Stan Johnson
