[Bug 1623198] Re: Masking and then disabling dbus.service causes the system to freeze

[Sworddragon]

@Martin: I would be fine if this action would throw me to the console
and still accept input. But that the system does fully freeze without
accepting any input similar to a kernel panic and that from an userspace
process looks definitely not correct. What should be done now?

Title:
  Masking and then disabling dbus.service causes the system to freeze

Status in dbus package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with systemd-sysv 231-6 and if I'm
  executing the command "systemctl mask dbus.service" and then
  "systemctl stop dbus.service" the system does freeze after a few
  seconds (even switching to the console is not possible anymore). But
  booting then the system works fine without any freezes while dbus got
  successfully disabled.
