Right. I see now what happens on my systems. I have an older version of systemd packages installed: ,---- | Version: 238-5 `---- which depends on: ,---- | systemd-shim (>= 10-3~) | systemd-sysv `---- as I stopped systemd related package updates: ,---- [ /etc/apt/preferences.d/no-systemd ] | Package: systemd systemd-sysv systemd-sysv:i386 libsystemd0 libpam-systemd | Pin: release o=Debian | Pin-Priority: -1 `---- at the point when systemd-shim was removed.
