--- Begin Message ---Package: sysv-rc-conf Version: 0.99-7.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? After an upgrade from bullseye to bookworm, sysv-rc-conf was tagged as upgrading possible. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Using synaptic I tried to upgrade it but it ranted throwing a long list of packages it wanted to uninstall, such as colord, gparted, haruna, gufw, etc, however when I check those 4 they have been upgraded correctly and moreover do not show any dependency with sysv-rc-conf ! * What was the outcome of this action? I backed off. * What outcome did you expect instead? sysv-rc-conf to upgrade smoothly, not trying to remove at least 30 packages that don't know it. Ziziz vely stlange, limit weild.

[...] > Debian Release: 12.1 [...] > Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) I just tested a bullseye to bookworm to trixie upgrade with systemd and sysv-rc-conf installed and the upgrade to trixie kicked out sysv-rc-conf as a side effect of a new conflict by systemd on sysv-rc [1]. I think this problem can now be considered satisfactorily resolved when affected users eventually upgrade to trixie. In the meantime, explicitly uninstalling sysv-rc-conf is the workaround for bookworm users. I had been planning a notice in the NEWS for the next sysv-rc-conf advising systemd users to uninstall but I think this may no longer be necessary since such users will already be shaken out. (There will also be a runtime check now.) [1] https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/commit/79602fc225bcb3b5d57fd2a2c877439371480802
