[SOLVED] Failed to reload daemon

I have noticed a warning when I enable or disable systemd services.

Here's an example output:

$ systemctl disable sshd.socket
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-unit-files ====
Authentication is required to manage system service or unit files.
Authenticating as: dino
Password: 
==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ====
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.reload-daemon ====
Authentication is required to reload the systemd state.
Authenticating as: dino
Password: 
==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ====
Failed to reload daemon: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

This got logged in the journal:

The Failed to reload daemon: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying started appearing on both of my computers running Arch. Does anyone know what's causing this? I can provide more information if needed.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to reload daemon

Thank you for the link. I made the mistake of searching for the whole error message instead of just a part of it. Oops, it didn't show up because I only searched for open bugs.
