Title:
  Ubuntu Xenial: Job local-fs.target/start deleted to break ordering
  cycle starting with networking.service/start

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It looks that there is a cyclic dependency in some of the systemd
  services: see log.

  The VM was created some hours ago using the latest packages.

  I'm not really sure if this is a problem with systemd - if not maybe
  somebody can point me to the buggy package.

  Please note that 'opt' is one of the LVs. Depending on the boot this
  is replaced e.g. with 'home'.
