[SOLVED] knot-resolver not starting after upgrade to 6.2.0-2

$ sudo systemctl status knot-resolver.service
× knot-resolver.service - Knot Resolver Manager
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/knot-resolver.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

i have this in /usr/bin:

$ ls -al /usr/bin | grep knot
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root       924656  6. Feb 23:03 knotc
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root       904056  6. Feb 23:03 knotd 

$ ls -al /usr/bin | grep kresd
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root       334432  6. Feb 23:06 kresd

Downgrading of knot-resolver and knot to the previous versions, disabling of knot-resolver.service and enabling/starting  of kresd@1.service solved it.
