Bug#1104892: systemd-sysv : Conflicts: sysvinit-core but 3.06-4 is to be installed

Package: sysvinit-core
Version: 3.06-4
Severity: serious

Dear maintainers,

On Debian 12.10 on target Rasberry pi 2, it seems no more possible to
update init with sysvinit-core as a normal and standard way (from many 
years !). I use this method from many years, therfore, it seems this is
perhaps on regression ?


Consider following log ....
