That's interesting. I am on a sid system, and I haven't noticed systemd on my system. I have the support libraries:
$ dpkg -l | grep systemd ii libsystemd-daemon0:amd64 204-5 amd64 systemd utility library ii libsystemd-login0:amd64 204-5 amd64 systemd login utility library I also checked a testing box, and it has the same libs. I also, just out of curiosity, checked apticron on both boxes, but neither of them has systemd on the to be installed list. Maybe a dependency on something previously installed? --b On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 7:19 PM, Rob Owens <row...@ptd.net> wrote: > I run a testing system that I depend on to get work done on a daily > basis.
