Hi,
Adam Williamson at RedHat suggested I post here, so please don't be too hard on me.
I have a couple of systemd units which are reported as in error:
------------------------------------------
[palooka at f15 ~]$ systemctl list-units --all --no-pager|grep error
ip6tables.service error inactive dead ip6tables.service
livesys-late.service error inactive dead livesys-late.service
[palooka at f15 ~]$ sudo systemctl disable ip6tables.service
Couldn't find ip6tables.service.
[palooka at f15 ~]$ sudo systemctl disable livesys-late.service
Couldn't find livesys-late.service.
[palooka at f15 ~]$
------------------------------------------
ip6tables is not installed on my system, and I know that livesys-late is a remnant of having installed from a Live CD.
As can be seen above, when I try to "disable" them, systemctl tells me that it can't find these services. So what I want to know is why are they being reported as in error, and how can I delete them, or otherwise remove them from the scope of systemctl?
Adam suggested I look for broken symlinks in /etc/systemd/system, but I see nothing untoward there:

Is there a problem?
