    Because of #1056135 I was downgradin systemd/udev packages to 254.5-1. While apt was still running, this causes the whole desktop environment
    (I use cinnamon) to be killed (and all processes in it ;-) ).


    My guess is, that the failures you encountered are due to the following change in v255:

    """
    Service Manager:

    * The way services are spawned has been overhauled.

    I couldnt follow the bit i deleted, and this maybe jumping to
    conclusions: are there any implications for upgrading to/after 255
    within a desktop environment?
    should something be said in the release-notes?
