Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Attempting to upgrade Jessie to Stretch
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Replaced Jessie with Stretch in /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
* What was the outcome of this action?

you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
systemd : Breaks: rdnssd (< 1.0.1-5) but 1.0.1-1+deb8u1 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by
held packages.

I have no held packages.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected a solution / upgrade path to be found by apt-get dist-upgrade.
I have done a google search and found many people reporting that doing an "apt-
get remove rdnssd" resolves the issue, but I would think that apt-get should
find this upgrade path automatically?
Do I really have to remove this package in order to have an upgrade path? I
looked at the packages included in Stretch and rdnssd exists in stretch.
