Public bug reported:
After upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 my courier installation wasn't
working anymore.
I found out the following error messages with "systemctl status courier-
mta.service":
Jun 07 18:11:10 h1-df systemd[1]: [/lib/systemd/system/courier-mta.service:3]
Failed to add dependency on
courier-authdaemon.service,courier.service,courierfilter.service, ignoring:
Invalid argument
Jun 07 18:11:10 h1-df systemd[1]: [/lib/systemd/system/courier-mta.service:4]
Failed to add dependency on
courier-authdaemon.service,courier.service,courierfilter.service, ignoring:
Invalid argument
I found out that there is a syntax error at lines 3 and 4. They read:
Requires=courier-authdaemon.service,courier.service,courierfilter.service
After=courier-authdaemon.service,courier.service,courierfilter.service
when they should read:
Requires=courier-authdaemon.service courier.service courierfilter.service
After=courier-authdaemon.service courier.service courierfilter.service
Notice that the correct versions have spaces separating the various
options in each line and not commas as the wrong one has.
