I can reproduce it by mounting a tmpfs on /run/systemd/userdb/ _and_ creating an empty io.systemd.DynamicUser file on it. Maybe it should not abort like that, however, if you have the directory in /run/ _and_ the socket file exists _but_ nothing is listening on it, then your machine is broken in some way. If the directory/socket are missing they are just skipped gracefully. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
