Purge manpages and reinstall from testing repo ...

Thanks, @Camelot, for the bugreport link.
Michael Biebl's comment (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847998#30):

Code Auswählen

... as you are using stretch/sid and systemd, you can safely
purge the initscripts package (along with sysv-rc, insserv and startpar)

is the answer to my question

Greetings

I purge this and works.

Code Auswählen

initscripts startpar sysv-rc sysv-rc-conf
you can solved this.

Temporary fix in new manpages package:

Code Auswählen

manpages (4.09-2) unstable; urgency=medium   
    * Do not install tmpfs.5 (Closes: #847998) 
    This is a temporary fix to allow the installation with initscripts, 
    because the manpage tmpfs.5 has been newly introduced in manpages 4.09. 
    In the long run, the naming conflict should be sorted out between 
    manpages and initscripts.

... or

Code Auswählen

# apt purge initscripts startpar sysv-rc sysv-rc-conf insserv
