Description Jiri Slaby 2011-11-03 16:33:26 UTC

This is the second time in the past 7 days that I have to run:
# systemctl enable apache2.service

and it indeed wrote this:
ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/apache2.service'

Apache is not started automatically otherwise of course. Is there something what arbitrarily disables services?

I must say that I didn't see anything else than apache being disabled for sure. But I remember I had to enable ntp on my notebook several times.

I've seen that with the big bunch of last updates, I'm staying on factory.
I've apache2,mysql,postgresql and others enable and running before the update.

After the reboot, apache2 is marked as disabled ? 

systemctl enable apache2.service && systemctl start 
solve the case. 
But on a future remote server, this can be annoying.

looks like presets are overriding default/user config, when upgrading package.

I need to discuss with upstream about what is the "excepted" behaviour.

Comment 3 Frederic Crozat 2011-11-04 16:43:29 UTC

fixed in Base/System / systemd and pushed in Factory (and 12.1).

packages providing systemd .service and using systemd rpm macros will need to be rebuild to use the fixed macros.
