Bug#941088: journald fails to restart

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: systemd
Version: 243-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

since the upgrade from 242-7, journald fails to restart:

```
# s restart systemd-journald.service
Job for systemd-journald.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status systemd-journald.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

# sst systemd-journald.service

I don't know how to dig further into, to see what journald is doing.
Maybe, can you give me some advice?
