One more observation: The udev package is configured before systemd, i.e. udev.postinst runs before systemd.postinst (systemd.postinst run daemon-reexec). The restart of udev (invoke-rc.d udev restart) is what's failing. I tried it manually via root@vp9cb:~# systemctl restart udev.service Failed to wait for response: Success If I manually reexec systemd via "systemctl daemon-reexec", I can successfully finish the dist-upgrade via dpkg --configure -a and apt-get -f install Full typescript attached -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
