[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#765448: libvirt-daemon-system is not installable on non-systemd system

[Yauheni Kaliuta]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 1.2.8-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

attempts to do "apt-get dist-upgrade" recently started to report:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libvirt-bin libvirt-daemon-system virt-goodies

$  apt-cache policy libvirt-daemon-system
libvirt-daemon-system:
  Installed: 1.2.8-3
  Candidate: 1.2.9-3
  Version table:
     1.2.9-3 0
        500 http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
 *** 1.2.8-3 0
        500 http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The reason is that the new libvirt-daemon-system version Depends of
policykit-1,
which depends of libpam-systemd which Depends of systemd which is blocked
on my
system.

Since it's declared, that systemd is not mandatory in Debian, the package
must
be installable (or what I did wrong?).
