Package: watchdog
Version: 5.14-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Watchdog daemon does not automatically get started on system boot.
Trying to enable it via systemctl yields:
root@jessie-box ~ > systemctl enable watchdog
Synchronizing state for watchdog.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d watchdog defaults
Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d watchdog enable
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
If you now add the following line to /lib/systemd/system/watchdog.service to
the install section, then it works
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
as expected. Systemctl enable works and the daemon gets started on boot.
