Debian 9.5, XFCE

After installing gpsd, I get this error message every time I install some package:

Code: Select all: Setting up gpsd (3.16-4) ... Creating/updating gpsd user account... A dependency job for gpsd.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript gpsd, action "start" failed. ● gpsd.service - GPS (Global Positioning System) Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.service; indirect; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) loka 04 16:20:31 samsung systemd[1]: Dependency failed for GPS (Global Posi…mon. loka 04 16:20:31 samsung systemd[1]: gpsd.service: Job gpsd.service/start f…cy'.

gpsd is working anyway. How to get rid of that error?

Did you check journalctl -xe for details?

Yes, I did.

Code: Select all: - The result is failed. loka 04 18:08:08 samsung systemd[1]: Dependency failed for GPS (Global Positioni -- Subject: Unit gpsd.service has failed -- Defined-By: systemd -- Support: https://www.debian.org/support -- -- Unit gpsd.service has failed. -- -- The result is dependency. )

Found it! gpsd requires loopback to be IPV6 enabled.

Wonders of systemd, dependency broken...

[SOLVED] gpsd post installation failure
