For spamassassin.service I see: ● spamassassin.service not-found inactive dead spamassassin.service But when I give: systemctl list-dependencies spamassassin.service I get: spamassassin.service I looked into: /etc/systemd/system /run/systemd/system /lib/systemd/system But I do not find dependencies. Where else should I look? Maybe completion should skip missing units.

It is not the systemctl, it is your shell completion of the systemctl. Just look at the output of "systemctl list-units --all" for "not-found". Maybe completion should skip missing units. At least for such actions as "status" this does not look useful. > And how do I make it forget it? > systemd cannot forget them as long as units depending on them are still loaded.
