I get a lot of comments like this too... making this error better would
be a definite plus.

Even the "Failed to issue method call" bit is confusing IMO. I know it
relates to dbus etc, but the user doesn't really give a rats ass about
that, they just want "Failed to enable unit 'foo.service'. It appears to
already be enabled."
