Hi, first of all, I've got the same problem, but everytime when I was configuring my own live in chroot.
Here is how I turned around the problem: in chroot I've stated not to upgrade libpam-systemd, to keep it back: echo "libpam-systemd hold"|dpkg --set-selections then I've dist-upgraded the distro without any error. To test it, Ive installed from that live dvd (an iso, actually) on a VM, and, once logged in the new VM, I've revoked my previous directive (as root): echo "libpam-systemd install"|dpkg --set-selections and finally dist-upgraded without any error. Hoping this could help.
