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

[Rick Thomas]

As I replied to that (did you see it? There may have been some problems with my email about that time),
commenting out the “SystemCallFilter” did not make the problem go away on either of the ARM systems.

Another interesting datapoint:  I upgraded my PowerMac G4 powerpc machine to latest Sid (including the systemd version in question) and it does *not* have the problem.  This is the same result I saw on the amd64 (virtual) machine.

So it seems to be arm specific…

Any thoughts?
