Purging configuration files for watchdog (5.16-1+b2) ... # Check systemd status systemctl is-system-running degraded # Check for failed systemd units systemctl list-units --state=failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● wd_keepalive.service not-found failed failed wd_keepalive.service LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB. SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type. 1 loaded units listed. ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- #In order the return systemd to the normal "running" status, the wd_keepalive.service must be reset: systemctl reset-failed wd_keepalive.service # Now everything looks fine again systemctl is-system-running running Expected results: I think the package removing process should go more smoothly. Leaving systemd status as "degraded" can be problematic, especially if there is some monitoring software checking system status.
