Bug#855050: systemd: systemctl regressions, assertion failure with "--user enable" without HOME, and more

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Package: systemd
Version: 232-15
Severity: serious
User: devel at kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

I opened this upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5260
and I would like to get this fixed in Debian stretch. This is a regression
compared to former versions. 

Any invocation of "systemctl --user enable/disable" will fail if
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set while it's strictly not required to do
its job.

The same pull request also fixes other regressions where you can't
properly track processes of a unit that has been removed or even
disable that dropped unit.

The commit I need most is this one:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5303/commits/c3c7eb7d7debbe2b2e708fb8d4d11f06869e0d0a

(while Lennart wrongly tagged another commit as fixing my issue)
