I'm afraid I don't know for sure. I think this was probably a weirdness on my system due to odd things I did to it, and not a bug in any package dependencies. When I asked apt-get to install libpam-systemd, it upgraded a number of other packages. I don't think this is worth investigating further. I think #844785 needs a fix though. Tips for where to look would be very welcome. Ian. -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
