Well, I spoke too soon.. Restarted and the same things happening. I guess it was a temporary solution.
You said that if you use sysvinit, every Debian package wants to uninstall it; that's because Debian uses systemd. If you want sysvinit, rather than systemd, then you must use Devuan or another non-systemd distro (e.g. MX Linux, etc.). Devuan is nearly identical to Debian, and most packages are interchangeable between them.
I am not saying that you ought to prefer one over the other. Others will have their own preferences, too.
On an older machine -- or for old farts who want to stick with what they know -- Devuan may be the better choice.
