    I am just now upgrading Jessie and something wants to pull in libsystemd0.  
I have no idea what.
      I made some trials.

      On Devuan Alpha2, libsystemd0 is required by (at least) policykit
and gvfs.

      - gvfs is necessary if you want xfce4 to show an icon on the
desktop when you plug in a removable media.

      - policykit and policykit-gnome are necessary if you want to run
synaptic from xfce4's menu.

--------------------------------------------

The operative qualifier being 'at least'.  Just for giggles, I tried to remove 
it and got this thrown at me:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
   acpi-fakekey avidemux avidemux-plugins ca-certificates-java default-jre
   default-jre-headless dvdstyler ffmpeg gimp gnome-orca gvfs gvfs-backends
   gvfs-daemons libasound2-plugins libavdevice56 libespeak1 libgegl-0.2-0
   liblavplay-2.1-0 libmikmod3 libmjpegtools-dev libpulse-dev
   libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulse0 libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-sound1.2
   libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl1.2debian libsystemd0 libxine2-x
   mjpegtools mplayer2 openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jre-headless packagekit
   packagekit-tools sane-utils smplayer smplayer-l10n smplayer-themes
   speech-dispatcher speech-dispatcher-audio-plugins vlc xine-ui

What a mess!  Just how do you fix that!!  (Rhetorical question btw)


The list isn't so long that it cannot be reduced carefully, step by step. I'll have a look tomorrow evening, but I must add I have remove packagekit. Also sane-tools since I haven't a scanner connected to that laptop. I doubt I have avidemux, speech-dispatcher or mplayer installed, but I have some components of pulseaudio and alsa for sure. I must check for default-jre and gimp because both are pretty usefull. This is not my personal laptop, I installed it for my wife, but I use it also as a Devuan test bench.

BTW I've read on Wikipedia that packagekit is a common front end to several package management systems. But they also say it is aiming at doing IPC, what the hell? It's a freedesktop.org thing. At least this one kit can be removed.
