I see an removal/uninstall at 13:59:09 of the old systemd package, and a successful install/update of the new systemd rpm package at 13:59:11 with the help of journalctl -b there is nothing unusual... after at 14:00:00 that there are entries from e.g. systemd dbusdaemon.... failed to activate service.... org.freedesktop.systemd1..... timeout...... and so on. I dont seem to be able to see errors about systemd unclean exits or something. should I wait for this zypper dup to finish... will take long or is it sufficient if I dump the journalctl -b > somewhere ? I only have this single system/disk at disposal so I can only try again by wiping this very same machine.
