Package: imapproxy
Version: 1.2.8~svn20161210-2
Severity: grave
Quack,
The server does not start. Trying to restart it does not change
anything. Here is the systemd status:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The service is marked as "static", which is wrong in this case IIUC.
Interestingly:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# systemctl enable imapproxy
Synchronizing state of imapproxy.service with SysV service script with
/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable imapproxy
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also,
Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template
units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another
unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which
has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path,
timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is indeed not [Install] section. If I add one with
"WantedBy=multi-user.target" I can enable the service but still it does
not start properly.
But if I use the init script directly it starts fine (and the service
works fine too, so the config is all right):
