Package: runit Version: 2.1.2-3 Severity: grave Reporting for a friend...
Currently trying to install runit causes socklog-run to be 'suggested' and installed, which clashes with systemd which kinda removes your system when you don't pay attention. (Done on throw-away VM thus no harm came to it) Please remove the recommend of socklog-run (or make that work with systemd). Noting that socklog-run has: ``` Conflicts: linux-kernel-log-daemon, system-log-daemon ``` which is what clashes with systemd. As Debian chose to let systemd be the evil default.... well, no way to be suggesting socklog-run that conflicts then.... Indeed, setting APT::Install-Recommends "0"; or using -—no-install-recommands would avoid the system from breaking... but those are not Debian defaults (though they should be ;) Greets, Jeroen ``` root@box:~# apt-get install runit Reading package lists...
