You need to remove the wrapper and update the unit file (contrib/systemd/haproxy.service.in). Running haproxy 1.8 through the wrapper of a 1.5 build with 1.5 unit file, that is gonna cause trouble for sure. Actually I suggest you uninstall haproxy properly via yum first. Otherwise an update of the 1.5 package may overwrite your executable. Lukas
