I looked it up in packages.debian.org. systemd-login0 is in both wheezy and wheezy-backports, with different version numbers. It is deprecated in jessie and sid, and rc-buggy in experimental. It is not in squeeze. My guess is that it got into squeeze long ago, in the days of systemd-innocence. Is there any way to track the history of a package and its adoption into different releases? -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
