I have to clean up my system: there are 25 not-found services, 3 not-found
targets, 2 not-found mounts and 1 not-found socket.
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. At least for such actions
