I upgraded from v255.4 to v255.13 (these are tags from

when I manually start a service:
root@vbox:~/tmp# systemctl start systemd-journald
Failed to execute /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent: No such file or
directory
If I use the flag “--no-ask-password”, then the warning is not printed.
I get my systemd distribution from OpenEmbedded.
They split out some components (including systemd-tty-ask-password) into a
separate package, systemd-extra-utils, which I do not install to save space.
Is systemd-tty-ask-password still an optional component?
Is this new behaviour (where systemd-tty-ask-password is repeatedly executed)
intentional?
It is not new behavior. systemctl did it for as long as I remember.
