Bug#802211: systemd: rescue.service fails if root password is not set

[Mattia Monga]

Package: systemd
Version: 227-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When the root account is locked or its password is not set,
rescue.service fails to get a root shell. The solution is to call
sulogin with --force option.
