SRU INFORMATION
===============
Fix: https:/
Regression potential: This changes a central place of systemd (although the fix is quite obvious), so if that code is broken it could potentially lead to boot failure. However, the fix has been tested in yakkety, and all the time in upstrean and downstream CI, so if this would actually break anything it should have surfaced by now. So low overall.
Test case: Should be verified by the reporter as the bug description did not include a reproducer.
