task-cinnamon-desktop : Depends: cinnamon-desktop-environment but it is not going to be installed

Not sure if this belongs here or under the tasksel package.

Selecting "... Cinnamon" fails with the following error printed in the error terminal:

    Drilling down on the dependencies, Cinnamon depends on systemd \xf0\x9f\x98\xa2

    [reopened] hi Brian, if the dependency is not a requirement, forking the package may be the solution here. That is the reason why we decide to fork the package. Do you have any more insights about the nature of this dependency?

    task-cinnamon-desktop depends on cinnamon-desktop-environment, which depends on cinnamon-core which depends on cinnamon which depends on gnome-settings-daemon which depends on libpam-systemd which depends on systemd (and also on systemd-shim | systemd-sysv)
