Description of problem: Running systemctl enable <various things> prints the incredibly obscure and non-useful message: Warning: unit files do not carry install information. No operation executed. It should describe what it means and how the user is supposed to correct the error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-44-4.fc17.armv7hl How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. systemctl enable rc-local.service Additional info: Many people do not understand this message: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=Warning%3A+unit+files+do+not+carry+install+information.+No+operation+executed.
(In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > > Running systemctl enable <various things> prints the > incredibly obscure and non-useful message: > > Warning: unit files do not carry install information. No operation executed. How about this?: The unit file has no [Install] section. It is not meant to be enabled using systemctl. (As a bonus we could say it in plural only if more than one unit was given on the command line.)
Definitely an improvement.
Fixed upstream: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit /?id=34cdc274edd870ffc27d21cf82655a0114948748 (But without the singular/plural distinction. That can wait for proper i18n.)
