Description of problem: The latest transmission-daemon (version transmission-daemon-2.92-4.fc25.x86_64) did not get built with systemd notify support, but its unit file requires it. The effect is that it times out and restarts constantly. Well it does for me because I modified the unit file to restart on failure. This is a regression because it used to work. Please check the build log, see what went wrong with systemd auto detection, and rebuild it with a forced configure option instead of auto detect if necessary.

Ah ha! From https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/transmission/2.92/4.fc25/data/logs/x86_64/build.log checking for SYSTEMD_DAEMON... no
Hey what's this? From https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/transmission/2.90/1.fc25/data/logs/x86_64/build.log + ./configure --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-static --enable-utp --enable-daemon --enable-nls --enable-cli --enable-daemon --with-systemd-daemon --enable-external-natpmp That one specified --with-systemd-daemon but 2.92 build did not.
