Description Juan Magallon 2011-10-26 01:01:50 CEST 
Try to enable/disable networkmanager/NetworkManager:

werewolf:/lib/systemd/system# systemctl enable networkmanager.service
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
werewolf:/lib/systemd/system# ll net*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  22 2011.09.28 22:25 networkmanager.service -> NetworkManager.service
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 348 2011.10.25 15:36 network.target
werewolf:/lib/systemd/system# systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service' '/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service'
ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/NetworkManager.service'

It is only in enable/disable ?
Status seems to work:

werewolf:~# systemctl status networkmanager.service
NetworkManager.service - Network Manager

OK, so this is apparently expected behaviour and won't be fixed upstream. They did concede that the error message was a bit rubbish tho'. If I get the time, I'll try and patch the error message, but otherwise this bug can be closed.
