Comment 1 Yanko Kaneti 2010-07-15 10:12:20 UTC

Another oddness of this sort
# systemctl --all | grep Network
NetworkManager.service                        loaded inactive     dead        
# systemd-install disable NetworkManager.service
Couldn't find NetworkManager.service.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 12:35:24 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2010-08-06 10:11:52 UTC

Since a while "systemctl enable" now makes sure that invocations like this will fail, and tell the user to call it with non-symlinked service file names only.
