Thanks for the quick feedback. I guess I should add that I use

APT::Install-Recommends "false";

Just a quick test (not installing, yet)

  root@basecamp:~# apt install libelogind-compat --assume-no
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree... Done
  Reading state information... Done
  The following additional packages will be installed:
    libelogind0
  The following NEW packages will be installed:
    libelogind-compat
  The following packages will be upgraded:
    libelogind0
  1 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
  Need to get 256 kB of archives.
  After this operation, 17.4 kB of additional disk space will be used.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n] N
  Abort.


so yes, installing it will fix it. It's just that I think there should
be no need to install run-time library dependencies explicitly, even if
one decides that Recommends: are just that ;-)

Thanks for refreshing my memory.
