This removes some of my apprehensions. [I could have sworn that I saw a normal file of same size in both places and was confused. I guess I saw wrong.] And now (IIUC) replacing sysvinit-core by systemd-sysv will make systemd the default (right now Ive to explicitly give the init=/bin/systemd at grub). However both will continue to exist and in case of any issue it could be manually chosen. Is that right?? More specifically my concerns are: 1. Which apt package 'owns' which file? 2. Are any critical packages being obsoleted? I really wonder about the name 'sysvinit-core'... Hardly seems 'core' to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
