Hi John,
Thanks for getting back to me.
This is the result:
r:~# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done

(Reading database ... 96191 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing systemd (215-17+deb8u12) ...
systemd is the active init system, please switch to another before removing
systemd.
dpkg: error processing package systemd (--remove):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Failed to stop lib-init-rw.mount: Unit lib-init-rw.mount not loaded.
addgroup: The group `systemd-journal' already exists as a system group.
Exiting.
Errors were encountered while processing:
systemd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Which is understandable I guess but I've not found how to fix.
Cheers,
Richard.
