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?

Description: system and service manager

 systemd is a replacement for sysvinit.  It is dependency-based and

 able to read the LSB init script headers in addition to parsing rcN.d

 links as hints.

 It also provides process supervision using cgroups and the ability to

Installing the systemd package will not switch your init system unless you

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
