If some package depends on "systemd-sysv | systemd-shim", then if no one is installed, then the first (systemd-sysv) is selected – it is expected behavior. If one want the alternative, then must to choose it manually. IMO, it is not possible to use testing in good way without carefully inspecting all upgrades and dependencies installed by it. But when one will be carefully enough, then he can get: i A libpam-systemd i A libsystemd-daemon0 i A libsystemd-id128-0 i A libsystemd-id128-0:i386 i A libsystemd-journal0 i A libsystemd-journal0:i386 i A libsystemd-login0 i A systemd i A systemd-shim It is form long time testing machine, where testing continuously updates for cca 4 years (over two freezes), where i have more than 3000 packages installed. I was stressed by the systemd too, because i am too busy to learn new boot system now, but someone on this ML describe me the systemd-shim principle and now i am OK. I decided, that i will test (and learn) systemd in virtual environment, and i will use it in new machines, but this old machine will end his life with sysv, because there is not needing to change something working for me (and waste time with migration my custom bootscripts). have nice day -- Slavko http://slavino.sk
