*** Problem in systemd
The problem cannot be reported:
This is not an official Linux package. Please remove any third party package and try again.

As recommend by Linux Mint, I enabled of course alternative/mirror sources.
Maybe that is why it thinks it's a third party package.
Of course, I can report the bug manually, so this is just a minor issue, but of course apport is doing it much better...
