[SOLVED]change netctl profile name

I'm using netctl to manage my wifi connections.
recently I changed the name of one of my profiles from foo to bar.
But now in boot time and running the command:

systemctl --failed

I get the following message:(this is the output from systemctl --failed)
UNIT                                                LOAD         ACTIVE        SUB           DESCRIPTION
netctl@foo.service                         loaded         failed           failed         networking for netctl profile

why hasn't the service name changed, how can I change it manually?

Re: [SOLVED]change netctl profile name

this is a bug that I found after renaming a profile too (or just an oversight, or 'working as intended' - who knows). rename the profile back to foo, then disable the foo profile. finally, rename the profile to bar and enable it.

that worked.Thanks.
I guess the profile shouldn't be enabled when I rename it.
