When uninstalling systemd-cron (replacing it with cron to allow
installation of backintime-gnome) from within an X11 session, I
suddently found myself at the console (as if I'd pressed CTRL+ALT+F1 -
not sure what that is called in techincal terms).  Luckily my X11
session hadn't died, I could switch back again, and then saw these
oddities at my virtual terminal still ongoing with the package
replacement:

Failed to execute operation: Forbindelsen brudt i den anden ende

After about a minute of seeming hanging the APT processing, it continued
but package removal failed and thus installation of cron failed too.

I guess failure to remove a non-essential package is at least important.
