Package: systemd
Version: 208-8
Severity: critical
I have jessie + sid + experimental configuration installed with
scrupulously configured pins (jessie = 800, sid = 650, experimental =
600).
I've never installed systemd **manually** since I don't plan to use it.
Today I rebooted my desktop and realized that systemd was explicitly
installed instead of sysvinit.
I tried to remove it, but dpkg has failed:
```
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
systemd*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1114 not upgraded.
After this operation, 6,058 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
(Reading database ... 178974 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing systemd (208-8) ...
systemd is the active init system, please switch to another before
removing systemd.
dpkg: error processing package systemd (--purge):
subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Failed to issue method call: Unit lib-init-rw.mount not loaded.
Errors were encountered while processing:
systemd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
```
I wonder who and why added this unstable buggy package to Recommends?
Please fix or remove this package and stop to recommend yet another
bugware from RedHat.
Thanks!

This quite clearly explains why the removal rightly fails, and this is
a good thing -- otherwise you would end up with an unbootable system.
You can install sysvinit-core or upstart first in order to switch.

This part is not at all a bug report but just unqualified trolling.
Please refrain from this in bug reports.
Thanks,
Martin
