[Bug 1752882] Re: Systemd sysv install fails with update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/enable

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 237-3ubuntu4

---------------
systemd (237-3ubuntu4) bionic; urgency=medium

  * systemd-sysv-install: fix name initialisation.
    Only initialise NAME, after --root optional argument has been parsed, otherwise
    NAME is initialized to e.g. `enable', instead of to the `unit-name`, resulting
    in failures. (LP: #1752882)
