Package: systemd
Version: 247~rc2-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I have updated several machine with experimental version and they did break for
various reasosn during install:
1) One is a NAS that I was updating via ssh. during update, the ssh
session closed,
it was impossible to open a new one, and as the machine is headless,
very difficult to
know what happened. The power button did an acpi shutdwon and the
machine
did restart, but trying to do apt-get -f install, I have been prompted
to do a
dpkg --configure -a because update was interrupted. After that the
machine was
operationnal again
2) One was a laptop, running a very recent kernel 5.9.8, This time i
did update
logged on a X11 kde konsole. During update, the entire X session
crashed, virtual
terminal were unreachable, remote login was impossible. Doing a
CTRL-ALT-DEL,
somehow did shutdown the machine but rebooting was impossible. I had to
select
an old kernel with its own initramfs, and to downgrade systemd to the
one from
unstable to get things back on order.
Sorry to providfe little traces but I think it is usefull to warn that updating
may cause
problem that may need a boot rescue medium to repair.
