This now could be reproduced on betel; this seems to happen, at least, going form taler-merchant v1.5.x to 1.6.x.

On lifeline, it happened from v1.5.x to v1.6.0;
on betel now, going from v1.5.x to v1.6.2 also shows

systemctl --failed

w/ this output.

I didn't yet attempt if this also happens when freshly installing taler-merchant on a vanilla Debian (or other) system.

No other steps were carried out despite upgrading -- and that solely using the

mytops-admin-log.git/scripts/taler-merchant/upgrade.sh


script.
