Bug#903295: libpam-systemd: Depends: systemd-shim (>= 10-4~) but it is not going to be installed
Package: systemd-shim
Version: 10-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
I am running sysvinit-core based desktop Debian system (sid).
When recently trying to dist-upgrade, libpam-systend package requires systemd-shim version >=10-4~ but there is no such version in repositories.
The only alternative is replacing sysvinit-core with systemd-sysv i.e. running systemd as init system.
This renders package systemd-shim unusable.
root@hpsiddie:/home/manul# apt-get dist-upgrade -d sysvinit-core+ libpam-systemd+

sysvinit-core is already the newest version (2.88dsf-59.10).
Calculating upgrade... Error!
