I've got the following puppet service:

service { "[email protected]":

  provider => systemd,

  ensure => running,

  enable => true,

}

When I try to apply this configuration on my client, it throws the following error:

err: /Stage[main]//Node[puppetclient]/Service[[email protected]]/enable: change from false to true failed: Could not enable [email protected]:

The service is running fine and I can make sure it's started on system boot by adding a symlink to getty.target.wants:

ln -s /lib/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/[email protected]

Of source, I could go ahead and remove "enable => true" from the service definition and include a the symlink manually in the puppet configuration, but shouldn't puppet take care of this? Am I doing something terribly wrong?
