Hi Andy,

Yes, I did do apt update after changing sources.

Here is the output of apt -a show systemd. I issued the command without the -a initially but at the end of the output it said there were two additional records and suggested adding -a to the command. Have I got two systemd versions mixing things up perhaps?

Also, here is the result of  

# apt -s install systemd udev libpam-systemd

root@rglynsvr:~# apt -s install systemd udev libpam-systemd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpam-systemd : Depends: systemd-shim (>= 8-2) but it is not going to be installed or
                           systemd-sysv but it is not going to be installed
 systemd : Depends: libsystemd0 (= 215-17+deb8u13) but 215-17+deb8u12 is to be installed
 udev : Depends: libudev1 (= 215-17+deb8u13) but 215-17+deb8u12 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Cheers,

Richard.

I'm a bit curious as to why it seems to be trying to install version
215-17+deb8u12 of systemd when jessie/updates has 215-17+deb8u13:

    https://packages.debian.org/jessie/systemd

Did you do "apt update" after changing your sources.list?

Do it again anyway, just to be sure. Then try this again. And if it
doesn't work can you please show the output of:

$ apt show systemd

Also:

# apt -s install systemd udev libpam-systemd

(The -s is for simulate so this won't do anything except tell us
what it wanted to do)

Cheers,
Andy
