Note the last bit: even "systemctl status" barfs. While I'm root. I
conjectured that a systemd upgrade broke it: the mass upgrade install
systemd 245.6-3. I then installed the last version sitting in my
/var/cache/apt/archives (systemd 239-15), and that brought the machine
back to a usable state.
Note that I'm filing this bug on the machine after the downgrade, so the
diagnostic files may not be fully instructive.
Thanks!
