Bug#832713: systemd: after "systemd (231-1) unstable" update systemd-jurnald.service fails to start

[Rick Thomas]

I upgraded one of my test systems (an armhf Cubox-i4Pro) to Sid.
After rebooting, I saw the same symptoms as on the SheevaPlug.

I commented the line in question in 
    /lib/systemd/system/systemd-logind.service
and
    /lib/systemd/system/systemd-journald.service

There was no corresponding line in
    /lib/systemd/system/networking.service
so I did nothing there.

I then did ‘update-initramfs -u’.

Then I rebooted.  Symptoms still persist, so that doesn’t seem to be it.

I still have
root at cube:~# systemctl status systemd-journald.service
* systemd-journald.service - Journal Service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-journald.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: start-limit-hit) since Thu 2016-07-28 17:05:29 PDT; 8min ago
     Docs: man:systemd-journald.service(8)
           man:journald.conf(5)
 Main PID: 608 (code=exited, status=228/SECCOMP)

Any other thoughts?

Rick
