#1035740 watchdog: After removing the watchdog package from the system, systemd shows the wd_keepalive service as failed.

Package:
watchdog
Source:
watchdog
Description:
system health checker and software/hardware watchdog handler
Submitter:

Severity:

----------------------------------
#In order the return systemd to the normal "running" status, the wd_keepalive.service must be reset:
systemctl reset-failed wd_keepalive.service

# Now everything looks fine again
systemctl is-system-running
running


Expected results:
I think the package removing process should go more smoothly. Leaving systemd status as "degraded" can be problematic, especially if there is some monitoring software checking system status.
