To work around this, the user must specify the "--force" switch to be able to overwrite the existing symlink. This is clearly a regression that was introduced by commit 718db96199e since it worked before without the "--force" switch and the man pages do not mention that you need to specify it. It is expected that this is a symlink. So just explicity set the force flag to make it work again. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76623 Reported-by: --- diff --git a/src/systemctl/systemctl.c b/src/systemctl/systemctl.c index ee0938f23..1b381f7a9 100644 --- a/src/systemctl/systemctl.c +++ b/src/systemctl/systemctl.c @@ -1968,7 +1968,7 @@ static int set_default(sd_bus *bus, char **args) { return log_oom(); if (!bus || avoid_bus()) { - r = unit_file_set_default(arg_scope, arg_root, unit, arg_force, &changes, &n_changes); + r = unit_file_set_default(arg_scope, arg_root, unit, true, &changes, &n_changes); if (r < 0) { log_error("Failed to set default target: %s", strerror(-r)); return r; @@ -1990,7 +1990,7 @@ static int set_default(sd_bus *bus, char **args) { "SetDefaultTarget", &error, &reply, - "sb", unit, arg_force); + "sb", unit, true); if (r < 0) { log_error("Failed to set default target: %s", bus_error_message(&error, -r)); return r;
