As you see in "status", the actual name of that is "ssh.service", and
"sshd" is just an Alias= name. As several units can have the same alias
(e. g. in the case of "display-manager.service"), it is deliberate that
you cannot enable aliases, but have to use the actual service name.

** Summary changed:

- systemd error when enabling a service that is already started
+ systemctl enable does not enable alias names

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

Title:
  systemctl enable does not enable alias names

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  to reproduce;

  1.sudo systemctl start sshd.service 
  2.sudo systemctl status sshd.service (shows enabled)
  3.sudo systemctl enable sshd.service - errors with "Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory"

  Expected behavior would be message that says the service is enabled.

  Using Lubuntu 15.04 daily build in a VM. systemd 218-7.

  ssh service does work after being started and persists after reboot.

  Expected behavior for starting a service without enabling it is that
  the service would not persist after reboot.
