FWIW jessie hasn't forced me to install systemd-sysv yet. I *did* have to install these systemd components: udev was pulled in by initramfs-tools & Xorg. libsystemd-id128-0 was pulled in by festival. libsystemd-journal0 and libsystemd-login0 were pulled in by dbus. At a glance, it looks like KDE and the various display managers (e.g. gdm3) force you to install systemd-sysv right now, and the XFCE and GNOME session managers Recommend it (i.e. opt out). Also a few other bits like upower, udisks2 and gnome-bluetooth. There is "aptitude why", or from within the aptitude UI you can tap "i" a couple of times until the bottom pane shows similar output, e.g. for gnome-bluetooth I see: i twb-desktop Recommends xinit i A xinit Recommends xterm | x-session-manager | x-window-manager | x-terminal-emulator p cinnamon Provides x-window-manager p cinnamon Recommends cinnamon-bluetooth p cinnamon-bluetooth Depends gnome-bluetooth _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
