[Bug 1929754] [NEW] Influx installed without my installing it

[Robert Dinse]

Public bug reported:

     On my webserver, recently upgraded to 21.04, I am chasing some
security issues and I find two instances of influxdb running.

     That's interesting because I never installed it, further checking
apt it shows NOT installed, yet, there it is.

     The parent process is systemd, of course fucking Poettering polluting my system again, and
it seems to be linked to the lingering function of systemd sessions.

     I don't want it, is there a way to get rid of it other than
replacing Ubuntu with a non systemd Linux like mxlinux?
