[^2]: And if Avahi-daemon is no more installed, the default for Mate
is still to use PulseAudio. You can get rid of the PulseAudio daemon
-by replacing package *mate-settings daemon-pulse* by package
+by replacing package *mate-settings-daemon-pulse* by package
*mate-settings-daemon-gstream*, then suppressing package *pulseaudio*.
The installed systemd related packages are then the following:
For your convenience, all of the source files and the .deb package
(for i386) are here:
+ [[systemd_215-17+deb8u2bu1.dsc]]
+
+[[systemd_215-17+deb8u2bu1_i386.changes]]
+
+[[systemd_215-17+deb8u2bu1.tar.gz]]
+
+[[libpam-systemd_215-17+deb8u2bu1_i386.deb]]
+
If you have installed the needed development packages, it's easy to
rebuild file "libpam-systemd_215-17+deb8u2bu1_i386.deb" with these
simple commands:
- # the 4 source files have to be downloaded in your current working directory
+ # the 3 source files have to be downloaded in your current working directory
dpkg-source -x systemd_215-17+deb8u2bu1.dsc
cd systemd-215
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
- cd ..
+ cd ..
To install it, you will need some local package repository. An easy
method to do it is to run:
## Final remarks
Installing the modified package *libpam-systemd* proposed above will
-alow you to get rid of package *systemd*, while keeping your Mate
+allow you to get rid of package *systemd*, while keeping your Mate
desktop fully functional.
On your computer there will be only packages *libpam-systemd*,
working on an independent replacement for *udev* called
[*vdev*](https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev). The work seems promising,
and I will at one point experience his work.

+For a more organized solution to avoid systemd in Debian, you can also
+look at the [Devuan distribution](https://devuan.org/), a fork of Debian;
+*vdev* is here also a candidate for *udev* replacement.
