BRIEF
* I upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)
* When I rebooted, Kannel failed to start.
* If I kill the various 'box' processes, then Kannel proceeds to load
successfully
* How can I configure Kannel to load automatically at boot, without this
manual intervention?
DETAIL
* Syslog extract shortly after reboot
