Well, when systemd finds one of these cyclic ordering dependencies it will
print your the full chain of it in the logs. It's not too difficult to
read that actually, as it starts with one unit, and then shows you the
next one that is ordered after it, and then the next one, and so on,
until it comes back to the original one which is supposed to be after
that last one... Now it's just a matter to figure out where to break
the cycle and drop the ordering dependency.
