--- Begin Message ---Package: sysvinit-core Version: 2.88dsf-53.3 Severity: critical Tags: d-i Justification: breaks the whole system A dist-upgrade done last week replaced, without asking, sysvinit by systemd that I do not want to use. I checked which packages were available for reinstalling sysvinit and found sysvinit-core. I installed it (and sysvinit-utils) with apt-get and got an error because systemd was running. On reboot the system went on single user because /sbin/init was not available. I tried to run systemd and got an error message saying that the system was booted by sysvinit. I recovered from this situation by using a Live CD to copy the files in the package data.tar to the system disk. In my opinion there are two problems here: - the hidden installation of systemd and removal of sysvinit (I am aware this should be a bug report on systemd...) - the loose way the sysvinit-core is installed by not taking heed in an appropriate way of an error that breaks the system, leaving it with no process launcher.

I've done some similar testing recently with the same result; marking the bug as fixed.
