Cannot enable dbus-broker

I followed the wiki instructions to install dbus-broker.

But with

sudo systemctl enable dbus-broker.service

I get:

The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, UpheldBy=,
Also=, or Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for
template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl.
 
Possible reasons for having these kinds of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
  .wants/, .requires/, or .upholds/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
  a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
  D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
  instance name specified.

The new unit files on Arch are setup as a static unit that is autostarted when something requests dbus, you shouldn't need to do anything and if you run

systemctl status dbus

you will see that it's likely started already

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/D-Bus

Wiki states you are to enable the service.

Do you see the "out of date" and "expansion" warning boxes? That's precisely the information that's currently out of date and will likely get adjusted in time.

Well, I did not see that :-)
