[Bug 1983046] Re: Incorrect username for systemd-journal-upload.service

[Nick Rosbrook]

If this is still relevant, can you share the output from the failed
service? The systemd-journal-upload.service unit should have
DynamicUser=yes, which should take care of the user at runtime (i.e. I
would not expect to see systemd-journal-upload listed in /etc/passwd).
