Bug Description
I recently uninstalled qemu along with qemu-kvm recently but found that qemu-kvm.service was still running at startup, though giving errors because it couldn't find the stuff that had been uninstalled. But it still concerns me that uninstalling qemu-kvm still leaves something behind which remains active, and I used the apt-get "purge" option which should have really got rid of everything.
So I think that to make the uninstall more complete and clean that the service should also be removed. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20. I hope that qemu-kvm does not leave anything else behind after its removal.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I cannot reproduce this on Xenial. In a KVM, I did "sudo apt install qemu" which provided /etc/init. d/qemu- kvm and "systemctl status qemu-kvm" reported this as started. This was provided by the qemu-system-common package. Then I did "sudo apt purge qemu-system- common" . This worked, /etc/init. d/qemu- kvm is gone, and "systemctl status qemu-kvm" reports that the service is gone.
Since there does not seem to be a bug here, I'm marking this as Invalid.
If you still believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http:// www.chiark. greenend. org.uk/ ~sgtatham/ bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, provide steps to reproduce, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu, and then change the bug status back to New.
