[Solved] How to remove not-found entries on systemctl?

I'm trying to remove not-found entries

# systemctl --state=not-found  --all                                                   
  UNIT                       LOAD      ACTIVE   SUB  DESCRIPTION
● plymouth-quit-wait.service not-found inactive dead plymouth-quit-wait.service
● plymouth-start.service     not-found inactive dead plymouth-start.service
● syslog.service             not-found inactive dead syslog.service
● acpid.socket               not-found inactive dead acpid.socket

I'm trying to figure out where it occurs by following commands

for k in plymouth-quit-wait.service plymouth-start.service syslog.service acpid.socket ; do
  find /usr/lib/systemd /etc/systemd -type f -exec grep $k {} /dev/null \;                                                                                 :(
done

and get the following

/usr/lib/systemd/system/console-getty.service:After=systemd-user-sessions.service plymouth-quit-wait.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service:After=systemd-user-sessions.service plymouth-quit-wait.service

/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog.socket:# /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service
/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog.socket:# (i.e. to rsyslog.service or syslog-ng.service):
/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog.socket:# Alias=syslog.service

What's my proper way to remove the not-found entries?

Not an Arch Discussion, moving to Apps and DEs...

Why do you want to do this?

You can use `systemctl mask foo.service` but there really is no point.

I just think these lines should removed.
If I setup my system correctly then there will no not-found lines.

The lines are there so that the listed .services are run and shut down at the correct times in order to prevent conflicts with the unit file from which your find monstrosity obtained the match.

The lines are informational rather than warnings per se.

To have a nice "clean" status, simply install, configure and enable the listed .services

So, for plymouth-quit-wait.service and plymouth-start.service I should refer https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/plymouth

I've installed rsyslog, syslog-ng and acpid packages.

Do you mean I require to do other setup to remove the not-found problem?

It is *not* a problem.

Any problems with units can be listed with:

systemctl --failed

You have some unit files which need to be ordered in a certain way in respect of other unit files which may not even be installed. The messages are just telling you that the listed file was mentioned in this way but does not exist on your system. There is nothing wrong with your system, it is fine.
