Follow-up for #27579 In #27579 we refused all StartUnit requests for Type=dbus units if dbus is not running, which means if dbus is manually stopped, user can't use systemctl to start Type=dbus units again, which is incorrect. The only culprit that leads to the cancellation of the whole transaction mentioned in #26799 is job type conflict on dbus. So let's relax the restriction and only refuse job enqueuing if dbus has a stop job. To summarize, the case we want to avoid is: 1. dbus has a stop job installed 2. StartUnit/ActivationRequest is received 3. Type=dbus service gets started, which has Requires=dbus.socket 4. dbus is pulled in again, resulting in job type conflict What we can support is: 1. dbus is already stopped 2. StartUnit is received (possibly through systemctl, i.e. on private bus) 3. Type=dbus service gets started, which will wait for dbus to start 4. dbus is started again, thus the job for Type=dbus service Replaces #27590 Fixes #27588
