Before I used apt which might have contributed to the hen-and-egg- problem with libsystemd0 and libelogind0. 3) before the following step: "In the event of any package failures you should fix the failed packages then start the upgrade again. root@devuan:~# apt-get -f install root@devuan:~# apt-get dist-upgrade" I checked libsystemd0 with aptitude. Yes, it was still installed after the upgrade. libelogind0 was also installed. 4) deinstalled libsystemd0 with aptitude which also deinstalled an amount of packages but also installed some package dependant on libelogind0. 5) I did not *purge* libsystemd0 6) Went on with the steps: "Users who migrated from ASCII and are using upower will need to downgrade their upower packages to avoid problems like bug #394. root@devuan:~# apt-get install --allow-downgrades upower/beowulf gir1.2- upowerglib/beowulf You may want to remove packages that were orphaned by the upgrade process and old package archives. root@devuan:~# apt-get autoremove --purge root@devuan:~# apt-get autoclean" This cleared the installation of obsolete KDE-packages 16.08 et all. libsystemd0 config files were purged together with other dross. openssh-server was upgraded dependant on libelogind0 Now I got a clean system again. Lesson to be learned: follow the upgrade guide literally!
