Issue systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service FAILED on latest Debian 9 / Obsidian ?

[Gary B.]

Hi all,

Seems that systemd have decided to remove the 'e' flag on the systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service, wich result in a failed state for this service as the 'e' directive is used by psa-mail-drivers config files :

● systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service - Cleanup of Temporary Directories

Obsidian and Debian 9 are on latest packages versions available.

Hi IgorG

I would love to, but when i click on "submit reports", i run into this error :

Looks like that problem related to the fact that actually you have Debian 8 but not Debian 9. We have already internal bugreport PPP-48275 regarding this issue with the behaviour described by you above. systemd added command 'e', not removed it.

Thank you. I have updated bugreport PPP-48275 with your case.
The bug still under developer's investigation.
