systemd < 228 had a race condition which caused occasional lockups on upgrades or other operations which involved (re)starting processes, systemctl daemon-reload, and similar. This got analyzed upstream in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1505 and finally got fixed in 228. Thus I mark this as closed in xenial, but it still affects wily and (much less often) trusty.
