Or while that happened. It's a bit hard to tell, as the logs are not complete. If you can reproduce the issue, it would be great if you can add "set -x" to /var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.postinst. This would give us a better idea at which point PID1 was crashing. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
