It'd be a good idea to have a dependency on manifest-import. This service generates the repository content on first reboot following the installation and gets updated on upgrades. Services attempts to access repository before manifest-import completes may get errors because properties are not populated or old property values. The drawback of having this dependency is the service may come up later. -tony
