Description of problem: systemctl gives the following output: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service loaded failed failed Cleanup of Temporary Directories systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service loaded failed failed Recreate Volatile Files and Directories How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot 2.enter 'sysetmctl' inside a shell 3. Actual results: two services failed to run Expected results: everything runs without failure Additional info: systemd-44-4.fc17.x86_64
Please check "systemd-journalctl" and look for any output related to systemd-tmpfiles, which might explain this.
Systemd-journalctl does nat show any info related to the tmpfiles services. If you need it, I can attach the output. Thanks, Carsten
Do I need those services, if I have a tmpfs mounted at /tmp?
Yes, you need them. They handle more than just /tmp. For instance, they create some service directories under /run. What does this command show?: systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

Apprantlx todays's updates fixed the problem for me. Maybe it was the update of radvd?
That's likely. The %pre scriptlet of the radvd package run during the update created the 'radvd' user.
