Re: [bitfolk] I've broken my Debian Jessie package update / upgrade system

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? -------------------- ~# apt -a show systemd Package: systemd Version: 215-17+deb8u13 Installed-Size: 12.2 MB Maintainer: Debian systemd Maintainers < pkg-systemd-maintainers(a)lists.alioth.debian.org&gt; Depends: libacl1 (>= 2.2.51-8), libaudit1 (>= 1:2.2.1), libblkid1 (>= 2.19.1), libcap2 (>= 1:2.10), libcryptsetup4 (>= 2:1.4.3), libkmod2 (>= 5~), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), libselinux1 (>= 2.1.9), libsystemd0 (= 215-17+deb8u13), util-linux (>= 2.19.1-2), mount (>= 2.21), initscripts (>= 2.88dsf-53.2), sysv-rc, udev (>= 208-8), acl, adduser, libcap2-bin Suggests: systemd-ui Conflicts: klogd Breaks: lsb-base (<< 4.1+Debian4), lvm2 (<< 2.02.104-1), systemd-shim (<< 8-2) Homepage: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), libgcrypt20 (>= 1.6.1), liblzma5 (>= 5.1.1alpha+20120614), libselinux1 (>= 1.32) Recommends: libpam-systemd, dbus Section: admin Priority: extra Download-Size: 2,576 kB APT-Sources: http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/security.debian.org/debian-securit… jessie/updates/main i386 Packages Description: system and service manager systemd is a replacement for sysvinit.
