Hi all,
I would be very grateful if any Debian expert out there could offer me some
advice.
Somehow, probably editing my sources.list(s) in response to the recent
jessie updates removal, I have managed to break the apt update/upgrade
process:
:~# apt-get upgrade
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:
systemd : Depends: udev (>= 208-8) but it is not installed
Recommends: libpam-systemd but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
After searching I've tried various suggested fixes such as
apt-get -f install
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
apt-get dist-upgrade
dpkg --configure -a
and so on but all to no avail.
There is some info on my system below.
Thanks in advance,
Richard.

Hello Richard.
Do you really want to remove systemd and switch to another init system?
I'm guessing not.
I suggest that you install the udev and libpam-systemd dependancies for
systemd:
apt-get install udev libpam-systemd
Let us know if you have any further problems after that.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi Richard,
Seems you're using different packages - libpam-systemd wants a lower
version of systemd than the one you have, do you have one source using
Jessie and another using something higher? Any 3rd party repos? Can
you post your sources file?

Okay, I think the issue may be that you have backports enabled currently.
Edit, ah yes, definitely:
libsystemd0/jessie-backports 230-7~bpo8+2 i386
[upgradable from:
215-17+deb8u12]
libudev1/jessie-backports 230-7~bpo8+2 i386 [upgradable from:
215-17+deb8u12]
systemd/jessie-backports 230-7~bpo8+2 i386 [upgradable from:
215-17+deb8u12]
Please comment out (add a # in front of) the jessie-backports entry in
sources.list.d/certbot.list for now to prevent this
Also I suggest that you add the following entries as a file (e.g.
'debian-security.list') in sources.list.d (I've left off 'non-free'
from
the end, as you don't have that specified in your sources.list):
# Debian Security Releases
deb

jessie/updates main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates

http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/security.debian.org/debian-security
jessie/updates main contrib

Once done, please run `apt-get update` again and then try `apt-get
upgrade` and see if that resolves the issue.
Thanks

I wondered about that but none of the packages it's trying to
install have a "bpo" in their version number, so they're not from
backports.

file (e.g.
'debian-security.list') in sources.list.d (I've left off 'non-free'

Ah, yes, I see Richard has commented out the jessie/updates line.
Richard, you need that line in order to get the security updates.
This is probably why you aren't being offered version 215-17+deb8u13
of systemd, etc.
Your line looked correct except for being commented out. Don't
forget to "apt update" after uncommenting.
Cheers,
Andy

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?

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)

Andy

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
not only depend on other init script being started, but also
availability of a given mount point or dbus service.
.
Installing the systemd package will not switch your init system unless
you
boot with init=/bin/systemd or install systemd-sysv in addition.
--------------------------
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

I can't say I'm totally clear on what has
corrected the system
Well, you had the jessie/updates source commented out before, and
now you don't, and the above packages came from jessie/updates.
Commenting this source out led you to a situation where you had
packages installed that depended on packages that could only be
found at the commented out place. That's why things started refusing
to proceed.
Uncommenting that again, and doing an "apt update", put you back in
a position where "apt -f install" was able to sort it out again.
Glad it got sorted!
Cheers,
Andy

New subject: Debian LTS (Was Re: I've broken my Debian Jessie package update / upgrade system)
Hello,

jessie updates removal
As an aside, were users of Debian jessie here generally aware that
since June 2018 jessie has not been supported by Debian's security
team but instead by the LTS project?
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/
The people working on the LTS project (i.e. the Debian developers
actually making the package updates) are paid to do so by sponsors,
and BitFolk has been a bronze level sponsor for quite a few years.
BitFolk used to allow the option of donating your referral bonuses
to Debian but I stopped offering this a long time ago because it
became difficult to give the money to Debian in an
accountant-friendly way, as Debian is not a legal entity.
I've been toying with the idea of bringing the option back, but
funnelling the funds into the LTS project instead, as that is
administered by a real company (Freexian SARL) that sends invoices.
Though at €85/hour (€75/hour of which goes to the developer) I
expect it would be quite some time before this would support an
increase from 1 to 2 hours per month.
https://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html
If you run a business that depends on longer support of Debian
releases then you might want to consider helping to do it (if you're
a Debian Developer) or directly paying other DDs to do it through
the Freexian sponsorship. A bonus of sponsoring this is that you get
to send a list of packages that you use and the LTS team will work
on those packages by preference.
Cheers,
Andy
