I am trying to install and configure systemD on lindux debian but I get errors when installing systemd-sysv which I understood was necessary to get systemD to manage services.
When I run
apt-get install systemd-sysv
I get :
# apt-get install systemd-sysv Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package systemd-sysv is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'systemd-sysv' has no installation candidate
Does someone know how to overcome this ? How can I have a running version of systemD on my system?

Answer
ubuntu started shipping systemd with Utopic Unicorn (where it is in the universe repository) and fully includes it since (the currently upcoming) Vivid Vervet.
Therefore, if you want to install systemd on your ubuntu-system (via the package manager), you need to first upgrade your entire system to a version that actually supports it.
