Additional context
The reason why this error occurs is that post-installation scripts in Debian packages make use of
systemctl
for a variety of reasons, such as enabling services. As it is the fact that we do not use systemd, these maintainer scripts fail, causingpkcon
to display this error.This issue is an upstream problem as Debian specifically targets systemd, even if other init systems such as SysV, OpenRC, or runit are available in their repositories.
However, it does not mean something has broken; Users can resume the process by running
pkcon repair
and thenpkcon update
, which will result in a success message.Note: We do not develop PackageKit, nor its backend APTCC.
