Systemd No Longer Running

After my most recent upgrade, systemd seems to just fail on every boot, and neither `systemctl daemon-reexec` nor `kill -USR1 1` bring it back. All `systemctl` commands fail with the message "Failed to get properties: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)". Any ideas?

Re: Systemd No Longer Running

pacman -Qikk systemd

Is this only the dbus interface or does systemd (PID 1) not run at all?

Re: Systemd No Longer Running

Hm well I had tried restarting but after restarting a second time (this time with `reboot --force --force`), it now works, so...I guess problem solved for now. But in case anyone else comes across this, I had run `busctl` pre-reboot and it showed `(activatable)` for systemd.
