[systemd-devel] No rhyme or reason to systemd enabling/disabling service

Ubuntu 16.04

With no changes to software or anything, on reboot, systemd *sometimes* 
will start dnscrypt-proxy.service while other times just ignores it and 
it fails to start. There is no rhyme or reason as to why sometimes it 
starts and other times fails to start.

All files in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants look correct.

I need help troubleshooting this problem.

Following is a successful journalctl -xru dnscrypt-proxy.service, 
otherwise when it fails, it simply shows "no results":

journalctl -xru dnscrypt-proxy.service -- Logs begin at Mon 2016-07-18
