Description Harald Reindl 2013-02-01 11:50:04 UTC
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service
Wants=ntp-wait.service

there is no "ntp-wait.service" in F18

so what about read /var/log/messages after boot?

Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2013-02-01 12:02:21 UTC
The service is in the ntp-perl subpackage. What messages do you see?

Comment 2 Harald Reindl 2013-02-01 12:23:18 UTC
a logical one for a Wants=non-existing-unit

Comment 3 Joel Uckelman 2013-03-04 23:30:45 UTC
Before installing ntp-perl, I was getting this in /var/log/messages:

Mar  4 23:54:59 athena systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit ntp-wait.s
ervice, ignoring: Unit ntp-wait.service failed to load: No such file or director
y. See system logs and 'systemctl status ntp-wait.service' for details.

socket/start

systemd deciding that dbus is the service not to start to break the cycle makes loads of other things fail.

I don't understand why, but installing ntp-perl resolved *both* problems. I had no cycle messages and a normal boot after that.

Comment 4 Harald Reindl 2013-03-05 00:10:40 UTC
there is no need to install ANYTHING
"Wants=ntp-wait.service" is simply bogus and not needed and
i am tired to fix the systemd-unit on each and every install

if i report abug for F18 it is NOT HELPFUL to get notified about F19/Rawhide-Updates while the problem on the reported version still exists

it's pretty much normal that the reporter is the first person who is willing to test and he is only willing to test or even only able to test for the release he has reported for, if not we would not need to select the release in the bugreport

that is what updates-testing and scratch-builds are for

notify me that a test-version exists for a distribution release which does not run on my machines and for which i had not reported the bug at least without having a F18 build within two days after the F19 one is a spit in the reporters face
