Well, nice try, but: # dpkg -i systemd_1.0_all.deb (Reading database ... 43381 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack systemd_1.0_all.deb ... Unpacking systemd (1.0) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of systemd: sysvinit-utils (2.93-8+devuan1) breaks systemd (<< 215) and is installed. Version of systemd to be configured is 1.0. sysv-rc (2.93-8+devuan1) breaks systemd (<< 215) and is installed. Version of systemd to be configured is 1.0. init-system-helpers (1.56+nmu1+devuan3) breaks systemd (<< 228) and is installed. Version of systemd to be configured is 1.0. ifupdown (0.8.35) breaks systemd (<< 228-3~) and is installed. Version of systemd to be configured is 1.0. dpkg: error processing package systemd (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: systemd If I rebuild it with a version number of 250: # dpkg -i systemd_250_all.deb (Reading database ... 43385 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack systemd_250_all.deb ... Unpacking systemd (250) over (1.0) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of systemd: eudev (3.2.9-9~beowulf1) breaks systemd (>> 220) and is installed. Version of systemd to be configured is 250. dpkg: error processing package systemd (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: systemd So, it seems I need a version number higher than 228 and also lower than 220. Has anyone already done this equivs trick and found a way to make it work? Antony. -- If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we'd be so simple that we couldn't.
