This happens sometimes when installing auditd on Ubuntu 18.04.2, most
installations work successfully, though. Re-running the install also
fixes the issue, but the failure breaks our automation. The log from the
failure looks like this:
# apt install auditd
...
Setting up auditd (1:2.8.2-1ubuntu1) ...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/auditd.service →
/lib/systemd/system/auditd.service.
Job for auditd.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.
See "systemctl status auditd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
