Having similar functionality or performing the same tasks as another package is not sufficient reason to declare Breaks or Conflicts with that package." Note that sysuser-helper 1.6 does not ship /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers, nor has a diversion or an alternative in place. the code injected in postinstall calls /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers as first option and only when /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers is not found, falls back on minsysusers. So when systemd is installed /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers from systemd is used. > > Dear Maintainer, > > runit Depends: sysuser-helper (>= 1.6) > systemd-sysv:amd64=261.1-2 Conflicts: sysuser-helper > > Hence, runit (and runit-run) can no longer be installed on a systemd > machine running testing: also socklog-run > > | $ sudo apt-get install runit > | Reading package lists...

Dear systemd maintainers, to address this, please either remove the conflicts with sysuser-helper or (better, IMHO) use a versioned conflicts sysuser-helper >= 2.0.0~ Lorenzo > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: forky/sid > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (800, 'stable-updates'), (800, > 'stable-security-debug'), (800, 'stable-security'), (800, > 'stable-debug'), (800, 'stable'), (650, 'testing-debug'), (550, > 'unstable-debug'), (550, 'unstable'), (10, 'experimental-debug'), > (10, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > > Kernel: Linux 7.1.3+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) > Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, > TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 > (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to > /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) > LSM: AppArmor: enabled > > Versions of packages runit depends on: > ii libc6 2.42-17 > ii runit-helper 2.16.7 > pn sysuser-helper <none> > > Versions of packages runit recommends: > pn runit-run | runit-init <none> > > Versions of packages runit suggests: > pn runit-services <none> > ii socklog 2.1.2+repack-3 > pn ucspi-unix <none> > pn xchpst <none> > pn zsh <none>
