[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#749559: sysvinit: Can't power off jessie from gnome poweroff menu

[Marcelo Luiz de Laia]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-53
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am using Jessie, and gnome.
When I choose my login in the upper right corner, and click Poweroff, my system
didn't do any think.

In the dmesg is showed:

system is powering down
failed to send delayed message launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

To do the trick I need to login in the new tty (tty2) and rum halt or shutdown
-h now.

I found this threat:

But, if I try:

# apt-get install systemd systemd-sysv

I got that systemd is already installed and apt tell me that sysvinit package
will be removed from my system.

However, sysvinit shows:

# aptitude show sysvinit

Arquitetura: i386
Tamanho Descompactado: 81,9 k
Pré-Depende de: sysvinit-core | upstart | systemd-sysv
Descrição: System-V-like init utilities - metapackage

Is systemd-sysv a dependecy for sysvinit? Why when I try to instal systemd-sysv
apt tell me that sysvinit will be removed?

Any suggestion to solve this bug?
