Well, if perl is not more awkward than i believe anyways, then the
message is emitted if the run of program systemctl fails.
The reasons for such a failure are manifold. From botched installation
to lack of disk space ...

The message text is obviously somewhat misleading.
(I imagine a pressured perl programmer who has to invent a comprehensive
error message and thinks "Let them look up the code on their own".
So the users get shown the script name and the line number.)


Have a nice day :)
