[Bug 1529079] Re: Can't start virtual machines with installed systemd-container package on Xenial

> You can't specify an ordering dependency to an object that you create
*right now*, as there is no way to enforce them. So just dropping these
two lines ought to fix it.

You're only considering startup ordering. These properties also apply to
ordering when stopping units, and so these do make sense & are required
to get correct shutdown ordering for machines.

Title:
  Can't start virtual machines with installed systemd-container package
  on Xenial

Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Can't start virtual machines after upgrade to Xenial.

  On Ubuntu Server 16.04:
  # virsh start testserver
  Cannot set property Before, or unknown property.

  On Kubuntu 16.04:
  Cannot set property Before, or unknown property.
  Traceback (most recent call last):

  libvirtError: Cannot set property Before, or unknown property.

  At this moment there is no libvirt or systemd-related error messages in syslog when this error appear on the screen (or virsh output). Both systems was upgraded from 15.10.
