Hi, util-linux (specifically libmount) 2.42 and newer try to use the udev database to resolve some data. This was introduced upstream in this commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/?h=8bdc2546d38979ca65fa9bfd1bbd6e7b985c69db This new code uses various sd_* symbols. As a result, libmount depends on libsystemd. libmount is also used by d-i, thus libmount provides a udeb. In #1132561 this was noticed, and I've temporarily disabled the new code in src:util-linux. However, it seems like over time we will need a libsystemd in d-i to satisfy such dependencies. Also the util-linux packaging change to support this is fugly and I'd like to remove it ASAP. Please provide a libsystemd udeb so libmount (and possibly other things in the future) can use libsystemd. Thanks, Chris PS: debian-boot@ your opinion is obviously welcome.
