Bug#756241: systemd-sysv conflicts with wpasupplicant and ifup ifdown

[Sergio Mendoza]

Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 208-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

  Since gnome and its dependent packages depends now on systemd-sysv
there is no way to have a full gnome installation without systemd-sysv.
The package systemd-sysv is heavily conflicting with wpasupplicant and
possibly ifupdown since when trying to setup a WPA2 wireless
network the following error message appears:

 root at host:~# ifup wlan0=mynetwork
 wpa_supplicant: /sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
 run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wpasupplicant exited with return code 1
 Failed to bring up mynetwork.

 I have tried installing stable versions of systemd-sysv and/or
wpasupplicant and/or ifupdown without success.

  The only way to fix things is to install back sysvinit-core, which
removes quite a few gnome packages and so gnome becomes unsuable.

Regards,

Sergio.
