Package: systemd
Version: 241-7~deb10u4
Severity: wishlist
File: /bin/systemctl

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

	Added a "RequiredBy=B.service" in existing A.service ([Install]-section) to target dependencies.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

	Used "systemctl enable A.service" as well as "systemctl daemon-reload" to activate "RequiredBy"-dependency.
	Instead B.service had to be disabled and re-enabled to properly create "Requires"-dependency.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
	
	Dependency was not generated.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

	Expected "B.service.requires/A.service" to be created directly if "systemctl enable B.service" is executed, even when B.service is already enabled.


BR & TY,
	Felix
