Details

Description:
After update to systemd-204-1 my systemd refused to boot because /bin/systemd was not found.
Indeed, former versions of systemd provided symlink from /bin/systemd to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd and it is not the case for systemd-204.
Re-installation of the package hasn't helped.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install systemd-204
2. Check presence of the file /bin/systemd

Workaround:
Create symlink manually
This task depends upon

I confirm this bug. My system did not boot after the upgrade (/bin/systemd not found).
Reverting to the old systemd package solved the problem.

"The /bin/systemd symlink has been removed. Any references in your bootloader (or elsewhere) must be updated to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd."

... or install systemd-sysvcompat and remove init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd parameter in your bootloader.
