emergency.target.d/core-override.conf seems to be incorrect

[mvo5]

During the boot there are a bunch of warnings like this:

emergency.target: Requested dependency OnFailure=reboot.target ignored (target units cannot fail).

which indicates that the factory/usr/lib/systemd/system/emergency.target.d/core-override.conf file is not quite correct.

@xnox this file was your commit, do you have insight here?

[xnox]

@vorlonofportland target units can fail to be reached though. I think it is a regression in systemd upstream if they stopped allowing OnFailure with target units (which is not even a unit type in systemd).

Apparently this fixed the problem in systemd v246: systemd/systemd@94d1ddb

Closing as this is fixed in systemd upstream, and it does not look like doing an SRU is worth it, as we can live without the system rebooting when emergency.target fails.

[mvo5]

Fwiw, given how trivial the fix and how confusing/irritating the warnings I would ask if the next systemd SRU can incldue this one line fix for this.

Fair enough, I've created https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1948476
