The transition scripts are designed and intended to be idempotent -- there should be no need to skip them. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "should handle systemd". What indication do we have that systemd is implicated in the failure to install? In my experience, the transition scripts only fail when the filesystem is nearly full (down to the reserved blocks, as mentioned in my earlier e-mail to Andreas). Is it possible that this is the case here? how much space is left on the filesystem during this installation? Can you run the transition script manually on a system where this failure happens and report how it fails? bash -x /usr/share/monkeysphere/transitions/0.23 should provide more clues. if there are specific reasons that the transition script might fail, i'd like to know what those are, and try to fix them.
