Package: hplip
Version: 3.17.10+repack0-2

My systems are configured to avoid installing systemd.  This makes it
impossible to install hplip:

  hplip depends on policykit-1
  policykit-1 depends on libpam-systemd
  libpam-systemd depends on systemd

If you believe this is an issue with libpam-systemd, please reassign this
bug.  Thanks.

policykit is enabled as hplip option in the Debian build:

https://sources.debian.org/src/hplip/3.17.10+repack0-3/debian/rules/#L92

And policykit-1 requires systemd-login, see:
	https://bugs.debian.org/747105#107
	(… and others)

The 'systemd' package doesn't switch your init system, and libpam-systemd only 
has an alternative dependency on the package that actually changes your init 
system: "systemd-shim (>= 10-3~) | systemd-sysv".

Only installing 'systemd-sysv' will switch your init system.

In other words, you are trying to do something (not installing 'systemd', or 
'not installing packages that have `systemd` in their name') that Debian does 
not support. The only thing along those lines that Debian _does_ support is 
allowing you to _not_ switch init systemd, and this is permitted by the 
alternative dependency in libpam-systemd.

This is not a bug in hplip, nor in any other package down the dependency 
chain; hereby closing then.

Cheers,
