4) According to the bug report, yes, the bug is fixed. Is that fix available in jessie-backports?

And therein lies the real issue: some folks would rather wallow in a problem than fix it.
Thanks you Mr. Give-me-hell! Maybe I deserve it. I wasn't WALLOWING, I was relating an issue. And in fact I had read that report regarding bug 788303. I saw where the bug was fixed in the latest release of systemd, around 25 April 2016, and had ASSUMED since I had done a dist-upgrade many times sine that date that I had the latest version of systemd for jessie. However, on further examination I see that I have 215-17 and the fix was deployed at 229-5. Had I seen that, instead of WALLOWING, I would have looked at the jessie-backports.

Once again, thanks for being so helpful. Your empathy is sometimes overwhelming.

Are there any particular gotchas that I need to worry about when installing systemd from jessie-backports?
Is this a proper way to do the install (yes, I have backports in my sources list),

Code: Select all

apt install systemd -t jessie-backports
or is it better to do this?

Code: Select all

apt-get -t jessie-backports install "systemd"
Or does it not make a difference which I use?

UPDATE: Well, I went ahead and used apt-get, as that is what I would normally use. Everything appears to be installed and working. I even went ahead and did an update-grub just to be sure that init d files were updated. Necessary, don't know but shouldn't hurt.
I now have systemd 230. I'll keep my eyes on the shutdown issue and hopefully it is now resolved, thanks mostly to the ever helpful dasein. Thank you SIR!
