The message is telling that the Shepherd service that provides =E2=80=98ssh-daemon=E2=80=99 also requires the =E2=80=98networking=E2=80=99= Shepherd service, but that nothing in your OS config provides such a service. Services that provide =E2=80=98networking=E2=80=99 include =E2=80=98dhcp-cl= ient-service=E2=80=99, =E2=80=98wicd-service=E2=80=99, and =E2=80=98connman-service=E2=80=99. We could improve the error message by showing the location of the =E2=80=98ssh-daemon=E2=80=99 Shepherd service definition, though it may be = better (but more difficult) to show the location of the instantiation of the corresponding service (the =E2=80=98(lsh-service)=E2=80=99 line in your con= fig file.) Thoughts? Ludo=E2=80=99.
