Hi, Here the upgrade was completed except for the problem indicated in the following transcript.
This page appears relevant. https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/systemd/systemd-journald.service.8.en.html /var/log/journal exists here.

What is unsafe about the path transition? How is systemd journaling meant to work? Thx, ...
