systemd service not enabled when adding simple recipe to image

systemd service not enabled when adding simple recipe to image

[Sandro Stiller]

Hello,
I have a problem enabling a simple systemd service:
If I install my package using the .ipk file, everything works fine
(systemd service ist enabled after install), but if I create an image
containing this package, the service is disabled.
It can be enabled by calling "systemctl enable <mytestscript.service>".
All files of the package are installed correctly (only the systemd
symlink is missing). I have other packages with working systemd, the
problem exists only in the simple case with a single shell script.

I use Angstrom v2015.06 / Yocto 1.8

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you very much,

Sandro

If anyone is interested:

The reason why systemd service works if installed using opkg and fails 
if I create an image:

The systemctl executable of OE is a shell script which handles the 
.service file in a different way.
I had a blank space behind the "WantedBy" line. The "real" systemctl has 
no problem with it, but the shell script silently ignores the entry 
without any error message and the service is not enabled in the image.

This is a bug. Can you please create a bug in bugzilla so it can be
addressed
