Description of problem: In case administrator makes a typo in a service definition, i.e. {{{ [Install] WantedBy=multiuser.target }}} then when enabling the service via "systemctl enable <service>" systemctl should kindly warn the poor admin that the requested target (multiuser vs multi-user) does not exist and hence the service will NOT be started automatically. These errors are quite hard to debug so I think SystemD should do some basic checks. How reproducible: always Actual results: systemctl blindly creates a link for the not existing target Expected results: systemctl should warn the admin that the target does not exist, hence the service can not be enabled Additional info:
