Description Umut Tezduyar 2015-01-23 12:22:08 UTC 
This is on systemd 216

I have 2 services and both have very similar structure. The only difference between them is one of them is wanted by multi-user.target and other one is not started at all. 

If I mask both services, service that is wanted by multi-user.target cannot be dbus activated (expected) and other service can be dbus activated even though the service is masked. 

The reason why systemd is confused is, systemd doesn't pick up the symbolic link of dbus to the original service file.
