Don't upgrade systemd to version 240.
If you already did: Downgrade to 239 ...
sudo apt install libnss-myhostname=239-5.6 libnss-mymachines=239-5.6 libnss-systemd=239-5.6 libpam-systemd=239-5.6 libsystemd0=239-5.6 libudev-dev=239-5.6 libudev1=239-5.6 systemd=239-5.6 systemd-container=239-5.6 systemd-coredump=239-5.6 systemd-sysv=239-5.6 udev=239-5.6
... and set those packages on hold
@pit, thanks a lot, that helped.
Is it really recommended to set those packages on hold or isn't it better just be patient and wait with the next DU?

It does not work for me:
# apt -s install libnss-myhostname=239-5.6 libnss-mymachines=239-5.6 libnss-systemd=239-5.6 libpam-systemd=239-5.6 libsystemd0=239-5.6 libudev-dev=239-5.6 libudev1=239-5.6 systemd=239-5.6 systemd-container=239-5.6 systemd-coredump=239-5.6 systemd-sysv=239-5.6 udev=239-5.6

I do have testing repository enabled... Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Try activating the fixes repository
deb https://packages.siduction.org/fixes unstable main contrib non-free
Now ...
sudo apt install libnss-myhostname=239-5.6 libnss-mymachines=239-5.6 libnss-systemd=239-5.6 libpam-systemd=239-5.6 libsystemd0=239-5.6 libudev-dev=239-5.6 libudev1=239-5.6 systemd=239-5.6 systemd-container=239-5.6 systemd-coredump=239-5.6 systemd-sysv=239-5.6 udev=239-5.6
... should work.
There is no need for downgrading anything. Use the Fix from the linked bugreport.

The workaround in the bug report works for me and plasma starts fine, albeit a touch slower.
I can confirm that. Thx towo!
So Java apps work again with that fix? There was another thread about Java-based apps failing because of this issue.
Sure, even java works again with that fix.
