** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Some systems fail to upgrade due to conflicts between systemd and the + (now removed from the archive) systemd-shim / upstart. + + * Instead of trying to work out what's the problem in ordering / + removal of diverts, ensure that systemd is never unpacked whilst + systemd-shim/upstart are still on disk. Thus declare conflicts against + systemd-shim/upstart packages in systemd package. + + [Test Case] + + * monitor drop-off of upgrades with below reported problem + + * Check that it is possible to upgrade to bionic's libpam-systemd from + xenial with systemd-shim installed on xenial. + + [Regression Potential] + + * systemd-shim/upstart are both removed and not supported in bionic, + thus forcing their removal via conflicts should bring the system into an + expected state. + + [Other Info] + + * original bug report + + $ sudo apt upgrade Reading package lists...
