Thanks Michael
Just ran an aptitude update.
After that:
udev is at 208-6 which is the latest I see
systemd is at 204-8 upgradable to 208-6
Trying to upgrade systemd gives me:
colord will be removed
gnome-sushi will be removed
gvfs will be removed
gvfs-backends will be removed
gvfs-daemons will be removed
libpam-systemd will be removed
nautilus will be removed
packagekit will be removed
packagekit-tools will be removed
policykit-1 will be removed
policykit-1-gnome will be removed
udisks2 will be removed
libsystemd-daemon0 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
libsystemd-journal0 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
libsystemd-journal0:i386 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
libsystemd-login0 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
nautilus-data (version 3.8.2-3) will be upgraded to version 3.12.2-1
systemd (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
Some other things which I looked at:
Trying to upgrade libpam-systemd gives me
sysvinit-core will be removed
libpam-systemd (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
libsystemd-daemon0 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
libsystemd-journal0 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
libsystemd-journal0:i386 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
libsystemd-login0 (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
systemd (version 204-8) will be upgraded to version 208-6
systemd-sysv (version 208-6) will be installed
sysvinit is at 2.88dsf-53.2 upgradable to 2.88dsf-53.3
Trying to upgrade sysvinit gives:
sysvinit (version 2.88dsf-53.2) will be upgraded to version 2.88dsf-53.3
init (version 1.20) will be installed
which seems the least drastic so far!
I find that on trying aptitude dist-upgrade I get a large load of installs/upgrades and
these removes:
Remove the following packages:
1) graphviz
2) rsyslog
3) sysvinit-core
Keep the following packages at their current version:
4) libgvc6 [Not Installed]
5) liblognorm1 [Not Installed]
So I try to remove graphviz and related libs but I get
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

So I am going to try to remove graphviz and its libraries one piece at a time...
Meanwhile if you have any further advice...
