Jan, All,

On 2018-02-08 12:22 +0100, Jan Kundr?t spake thusly:

We believe this issue has been fixed in antoher way with that patch:

    6e5df928539 package/skeleton-systemd: invert factory logic

As thus, I've marked this patch as rejected.

If your use-case is still not fixed, please re-send it.

Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
