This bug shows an embarrassing lack of mastery of dpkg package relationship
semantics on the part of those managing the systemd packaging. You
currently have:
Replaces: sysvinit (<< 2.88dsf-44~), sysvinit-core
Breaks: sysvinit-core
Policy 7.3 is quite clear on this:
Normally a `Breaks' entry will have an "earlier than" version clause;
such a `Breaks' is introduced in the version of an (implicit or
explicit) dependency which violates an assumption or reveals a bug in
earlier versions of the broken package, or which takes over a file
from earlier versions of the package named in `Breaks'. This use of
`Breaks' will inform higher-level package management tools that the
broken package must be upgraded before the new one.
If your package relationship does not involve an "earlier than" clause, it
should be a Conflicts, *not* a Breaks. It was certainly an oversight on my
part that the sysvinit-core package didn't declare a Conflicts on
systemd-sysv and upstart; but to actively declare a Breaks for something
that every Debian Developer should know requires a Conflicts is something
else.
I have committed the fix for this to sysvinit git:
Package: sysvinit-core
Conflicts: systemd-sysv, upstart
Replaces: sysvinit (<< 2.88dsf-44~), systemd-sysv, upstart
and I will upload it just as soon as I untangle the current status of
sysvinit vis-a-vis unstable vs. experimental. Please make the corresponding
fix on the systemd side.
