X runs when booted via sysvinit. I have subsequently discovered that I cannot shutdown that machine. It reports something like the shutdown.service did not complete (with timeout). I think I know why that happened, *but* to refuse to umount the filesystem and stop all processes to allow a safe manual power off is a major flaw. I had to just cut power after manually unmounting the few mounts that it would permit. That whole machine is now is a complete mess, and I am not sure that I will be able to recover to try to provide the reports you request without a lot of time and effort. I will be away from the machine for about 1 month in a day or so, so such a report may be delayed. Another (amd64) machine has also stopped booting properly after the latest updates. At least it gets as far as emergency mode. That too seems to be a systemd problem. Back to the i386 machine, the target in this report: when I tried to apt-get upgrade in case the bug had been fixed, it hung on systemd because udev could not be upgraded. The udev refusal to upgrade came with a message from dpkg about a group 'Input' already existing. This from memory: so the details may not be correct. As I say that system is messed up so I can't easily check those details for now.
