Wrong: • dpkg (directly or via dselect) does not use APT’s system (well, not necessarily, anyway) • aptitude has been known to ignore the view dpkg/apt have on the system, e.g. wrt. held packages, for ages Vincent Bernat dixit: >>> Why systemd-shim? Wookey and I agreed on three levels of avoidance: hard disallow (which would be -must-die), prevent systemd from being installed (allows -shim) and prevent systemd from running (allows -shim and libpam-systemd with its deps). >I was hoping the author would admit the contradiction of requesting >volunteers to code alternatives and at the same time reject them. I do not request an alternative to… whatever systemd-shim is an alternative to. I question why this thing is needed at all. My sid desktop at $dayjob works just fine with systemd-must-die installed, thank you very much. Okay, I uninstalled the KDE metapackage due to the gvfs chain, but who cares… (or maybe I could contribute a KDE metapackage that excludes systemd, but right now things are in flux anyway). bye, //mirabilos -- (gnutls can also be used, but if you are compiling lynx for your own use, there is no reason to consider using that package) -- Thomas E.
