[SOLVED] Replace/remove OpenRC

On my travelling laptop openrc is installed as init system. I would like to replace it by pure sysvinit (same setup as my main system). When I look at what Synaptic shows installation does not seem to replace openrc.

What do I need to do?

The laptop was installed with Daedalus and upgraded to Excalibur.

In Synaptic, click "Search" then enter sysvinit as string. Mark the transitional package for installation. Then search for openrc and mark for purge. Confirm and let the device run until finished. Reboot.
