[systemd-devel] Two services allocated for the same bus name ...

[Johannes Ernst]

I’m trying to set up two different Avahi configurations, using foo.service and bar.service.

Error message:

Two services allocated for the same bus name org.freedesktop.Avahi, refusing operation.

On the face of it, that seems to be correct: indeed foo.service and bar.service both declare

[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=org.freedesktop.Avahi

However, I have in foo.service:

[Unit]
Conflicts=bar.service

and vice versa, so they will never be active at the same time. Is there some way to make this work? [I don’t know who might want to talk to Avahi via dbus, but it makes sense that they should find either foo or bar, depending on which configuration is currently up, so I don’t really want to rename this]

Cheers,



Johannes.
