[Bug 1560797] Re: package systemd-sysv 225-1ubuntu9.1 failed to install/upgrade: libgcrypt20 was unconfigured

[Martin Pitt]

Thanks, it's good to finally have a complete log here. I don't
understand why apt fails on that error instead of simply configuring the
new libgcrypt20 first -- libgcrypt20 has no circular dependencies with
systemd, it only depends on libgpg-error0 and libc6, and both are
configured before. And then, after unpacking libgcrypt20, when it would
be time to actually configure it, it instead tries to configure systemd.

This is an useful command to reduce the log to the interesting bits:
egrep 'libgcrypt20|libgpg-error|libc6|systemd' /tmp/apt-term.log

This sounds like a bug in apt to me, thus adding a task.
