subsequently:
sudo systemctl enable motd-news.service
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, UpheldBy=,
Also=, or Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for
template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using
systemctl.
Possible reasons for having these kinds of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/, .requires/, or .upholds/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
Is this service required to update base-files?
Probably not (but I'm not an Ubuntu user, so I can't tell for sure).
In fact, I would try to do the opposite of what you are trying,
namely, disabling such service before trying again.
If you manage to recover from this, you will have plenty of time to re-enable
the service afterwards.
Note: Please do *not* try to install the base-files package from Debian on
Ubuntu
(or any of its derivatives). If you downloaded the .deb package from Debian,
please delete it. APT should care of downloading the right package for your
distribution, and you should not try any other version. In this particular
case it can only make things worse, not better.
Thanks.
