    SpaceFM is a better file manager for these kind of things.

    Anyway, I found the issue. Luckely I also have a 19.1 base iso around, so I found the issue.

    When dist-upgrading, I found that apt-antix, after upgrading, wanted the user to replace the antix.list If a user says no, the result is that the buster entry for the antix repo stays as
    .../antix/buster buster main nonfree
    intead of being replaced with
    .../antix/buster buster main nonfree nosystemd
    This means that systemd programs are NOT being blacklisted if the user doesn’t accept the change.
    I needed to select No to be able to reproduce the error.

    I have just recovered from all the problem.

    Here is the solution in case you want to try to fix it.

    1. restore apt list
    sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/antix.list
    Change the second line (starting with deb). It looks like:
    deb http://........./antix/buster buster main nonfree
    go to the end of the line and add nosystemd It should look like this:
    deb http://........./antix/buster buster main nonfree nosystemd
    Control+X to exit (it will ask you to save, say Y and then Enter)

    2. Update the package list
    sudo apt update

    3. Install xorg
    sudo apt install xorg

    4. Install updates
    sudo apt dist-upgrade

    reboot.

    Edit: Hopefuly this fixes it for you.
    Then, after, you can uninstall system-config-printer-udev if you want (it won’t work anyway).
