But the bug is that *any* > unit that is just in .wants/ is started, not that the one > with dots in the name is *not* started. To elaborate on that: the .wants/ directory is not in the standard search path for units, and systemd should not load the unit file from there, because later on it will not be able to find it. At least that's the way I understand how things should work... Unfortunately the whole unit-searching/unit-loading mechanism is not fully defined, and quite a few corner cases behave in unexpected ways.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
