Public bug reported: After the download, when packages where being installed/upgraded, the process stopped with an error message that systemd-sysv could not be upgraded due to dependency errors and will remain unconfigured.
This error appeared again for dozens of other packages (many systemd, gvfs and Gnome packages). Before the cleanup-phase the upgrader exited with an error. The install could easily be fixed with: dpkg --configure -a # to configure unconfigured packages apt-get dist-upgrade # to complete the upgrade The only package that was not upgraded was in fact systemd-sysv. Looking through the news on Reddit and HN, other users seem to have the same or at least very similar problems.
