libsystemd-dummy does not exist

Hi, I've just started to migrate from Arch to Artix following the wiki, and libsystemd-dummy, listed in the packages to download and install, was not found. Is it normal? What should I do?
Thanks ~

Yes, it is normal for systemd to play pranks on us.

The library was renamed to "systemd-libs-dummy"

Welcome aboard, and I hope your conversion was uneventful.
I have installations without it (libsystemd) and it depends on pkgs whether it is necessary or not.  Make sure all pkgs that "can" come from artix do, and not keep the arch versions of them.  Their dependencies, if not satisfied will alert you of who they are, but I am not sure if they all do.  You may, or may not, have some aur or other foreign pkgs that may have been built with systemd dependencies in place and may have to be rebuilt.

Thank you so much for your quick answer!
I've completed all the steps and rebooted now, and Xorg refuses to start. I will post the exact message soon, but iirc it was about no rights to access /de/tty0...

Hi again, my error message is:

(EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)

I get this when launching Xfce with "startxfce4" as a normal user (not using sudo).

By the way I did not install sddm although it was advised to do so in the Wiki, as I though that I don't need it if I start manually using startxfce4... I am right?

Maybe should I create a separate topic for this problem?

PS: it works fine if I launch with "sudo startxfce4", but then I am using the root account, which is not fine.

You were right, now it works!! Thank you so much :)

Now I will try to figure out if I can use decently the wifi without D-Bus... if I have no other choice I will install D-Bus (and probably to use it with Wicd).

Okay! After removing the package NetworkManager, nothing was anymore preventing the functionning of wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli, and now everything is fine...
I also remediated brightness problems by using xbacklight, which functionned after installing xf86-video-intel and adding some /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf to indicate the right "backlight" directory to the driver.
I now am using happily alsa, and chromium uses it without doing any particular setting.

I now would have a question: does Artix also aim at parting ways with PolKit, DBus, and probably other components?
Personally I would agree with such mindset. But it would be not easy! But I would try to help.

Nope, because gentoo already exists which enables such setup pretty conveniently with their use flags.

Okay, I made peace with this.
Artix shall be my stable production system while Gentoo shall be more like my experiment lab.
Thx for the honest & correct answer.
