I usually do a manual "aptitude full-upgrade" every day. >From time to time, I happen to remove packages: in that case I usually purge them with "aptitude purge", but I see that their dependencies are not purged, only removed. Maybe I removed or purged a package that had systemd-shim as a dependency, or maybe a full-upgrade removed it without purging it. Anyway, I just did: # aptitude purge systemd-shim The following packages will be REMOVED: systemd-shim{p} 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] (Reading database ... 903812 files and directories currently installed.) Purging configuration files for systemd-shim (7-1) ... No diversion 'diversion of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service to /usr/share/d\ bus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.systemd by systemd-shim', none removed.

Should you need to know the contenst of any files before this operation, just ask and I will recover them from backups. Thanks for maintaining this
