Thanks for that, I'll be more careful when I redo the install!
Mainly I need a nice web browser - Palemoon is OK, and I use VLC for
watching DVDs. None of that needs anything more than xdm, twm, and xfe.
Later jack audio will get installed along with audacity.
Apple hardware is really good quality but can be very fussy when you get
rid of OSX. My iMac is 11 years old and refuses to break.

Note the version of libsystemd0 listed above. It's in jessie. If you
remove libsystemd0 from ascii, you'll be browsing the web with lynx or
w3m. PA is not the only thing that needs it - you'll lose xserver-xorg, too.
There's also /lib/systemd. You can't get rid of that, but you can get rid
of /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd by installing eudev from experimental.
Instructions are here if you need them:

Yes... I re-installed taking notes of what was getting installed.
I have boot from a debian 6 squeeze CD, anything later refuses to boot
the iMac. (Fedora has failed since fedora 13, Tinycore linux boots,
Slackware boots) Then I do a dist-upgrade to wheezy, that takes it
straight to 7.11 which has the beginnings of systemd in it.
I used aptitude to get rid of anything with systemd in the name, then I
deleted everything systemd from /lib/systemd and etc/systemd. After a
reboot and purge I was down to 174 packages and a working but very
minimal terminal system. No sound no nothing, reminds me of playing
Moonlander on a 300-baud terminal into the mainframe all those years ago...
Then I did the devuan-jessie dist-upgrade. That pulled in systemd-udevd
so I repeated what I did with wheezy - got rid of all of it! And broke
it again! The screen font stays enormous and the keyboard doesn't work
so I can't login.
I suppose eudev is the next step once I have re-installed squeeze and
wheezy!
