Bug#798242: systemd: Failed to execute operation: Connection timed out

Jessie has and will keep 215, we will only backport individual fixes
for it. I would strongly advise against a partial upgrade -- nobody
tests these combinations, and they are unmaintainable on a production
system.

No, a reboot is probably the only thing which will reset the state
properly. The "35 not upgraded" packages should be okay, and
unconfigured systemd is ok as it only failed in the trigger. But
leaving udev unconfigured could lead to boot troubles, so maybe try a
round (or two) of "dpkg --configure -a" first?
