[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Why is wheezy chroots switching to systemd on upgrades?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Hi.

When creating a simple wheezy chroot and upgrading it to unstable,
sysvinit is replaced by systemd.  I thought installed Wheezy systems
would keep sysvinit, and systemd would only be installed on new Jessie
systems, and am a bit surprised by this.

Anyone got an idea why this happen?

To test yourself, run this as root:

  debootstrap wheezy chroot-wheezy
  sed -i s/wheezy/unstable/ chroot-wheezy/etc/apt/sources.list
  chroot chroot-wheezy apt-get update
  chroot chroot-wheezy apt-get dist-upgrade

This will show that systemd-sysv is being installed.
