Package: libelogind0
Version: 243.7-2
Severity: normal

I found today that the reason, libsystemd0 repplacement is inside /usr
and not in /lib drove my system unbootable.

Please move that library to /lib.

Klaus,

Many thanks for this.

So I can understand this more fully, in what way did the system fail to boot?

Thanks

Hi,

Well, /bin/lvm depends on libsystemd.so.0 which is on /usr. But /bin/lvm
is needed to activate the LVM where /usr lives on.

Small additional info, I do not use initrd.

Yes, I suspect that is why you see the issue and it does not generally affect
people.

No matter, I will test it for the next version.

Thanks,
