The only thing that gets newly installed is libdb5.3.
No problems on multiarch nor on a 64-bit-only system

And BTW is is necessary to take systemd-sysv off hold to upgrade.      

[devil]

Yes, not needed anymore. I still had it on hold on my main box.

Thanks dibl. Removing the hold from systemd-sysv solved the problem.
If no none objects I'll  mark the topic as solved.
