Subject: lvm2 fails to start its services after install

Date: Sun, 15 May 2016 18:34:31 +0200

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.151-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Installing lvm2 and immediately attempting to use it fails.

It seems several lvm-related systemd units were installed but not started.
Reloading the systemd units and starting those services (and socket units)
  solved the issue.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I had the same error, but it affected my encrypted Debian stretch installation which depends on lvm2.
Please, fix this as soon as possible because new users of testing version who would need to use an encrypted system will loss their installation quickly.
