Bug#928914: systemd: Fix for #898892 breaks normal usage

[ಚಿರಾಗ್ ನಟರಾಜ್]

Package: systemd
Version: 242-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It seems the fix for #898892 renders bare unit names unusable.

Example:

$ sudo journalctl --unit boinc
-- No entries --

$ sudo journalctl --unit boinc*

That is, in order for me to view the logs of boinc.service, I need to pass boinc* as the argument to --unit (--unit boinc.service gives me the same result as --unit boinc).

Sincerely,

Chiraag
