[Aptitude-devel] Bug#836265: aptitude: keeps reselecting sysvinit

[ydirson at free.fr]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.3-1

On every "mark upgradeable", I find myself with sysvinit selected for install and not
marked as automatically selected (and subsequently I manually request for it not to be
installed).

The only dependency on it comes from libguestfs0, which depends on "systemd | sysvinit",
with systemd being already installed, so it looks like sysvinit has no valid reason to
be pulled - except maybe that this transitional package is marked essential, which is
probably a bug it itself, but can probably explain the behavior.
