Hello Christoph, yep, because of that dependency loop and because it kind of makes sense to have the watchdog starting earlier, I opened a Debian bug about this issue asking maintainer opinion. He is also the upstream maintainer so that will help us a bit.
I'm linking the upstream issue and will follow his answer. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #969998 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=969998 ** Also affects: watchdog (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=969998 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: watchdog (Ubuntu) Assignee: Rafael David Tinoco (rafaeldtinoco) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891801 Title: watchdog should start after basic.target To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/watchdog/+bug/1891801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
