I’ve definitely messed up the sysVinit and OpenRC setups

Try this as the last resort (dbus also breaks when it gets upgraded with runit present)

sudo apt update && sudo mv /sbin/runit /sbin/runit-bak && sudo apt -y reinstall dbus connman && sudo mv /sbin/runit-bak /sbin/runit

I guess I will most likely need to make the hard decision to stop offering runit on my (antiX based) init-diversity remasters, if antiX repackaging continues to remove sysvinit scripts when runit is detected.
It is not reasonable to expect users to not update their systems, or risk breaking their system every time they update or install a new deb.

I could start checking for init-diversity in the postinst scripts and if detected (regardless of which init running) do nothing to existing init scripts.
So what is a fail proof way to detect it?

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
