[Bug 1741314] [NEW] "systemctl enable mdmonitor" fails

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

mdadm package appears to not be complete.

trying to enable mdmonitor to launch automatically for systemd, but it fails with this warning:
 


# systemctl enable mdmonitor
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
   instance name specified.


I am able to start mdmonitor.
