    haha why does debian bother adding this rule if the system will be left in broken state anyway

        (As the tester above) It is a broken state

        It failed to install the initscripts package because apt bailed out

        apt —fix-broken install got you a little closer, but the screenshot didn’t say they tried that

        My bet is this worked when systemd was first introduced, but since there’s not much use for it now, and sysvinit is deprecated, it just doesn’t accidentally work anymore

            You can’t - it’s just asking what runlevel to launch, and there are no files for any runlevel

            You’d need to add init=/bin/sh through grub at that point

                I didn’t after breaking it and rebooting

                I restored the snapshot from before breaking the system and tried to see what would happen if I didn’t just reboot after apt bailed out
