Bug Description

Which is bad now that the ubuntu-server metapackage depends on it.

Setting up multipath-tools (0.7.4-2ubuntu4) ...
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multipath-tools.service → /lib/systemd/system/multipathd.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/multipathd.service → /lib/systemd/system/multipathd.service.
multipathd.socket is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.
Job for multipathd.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered causing the control process to dump core.
See "systemctl status multipathd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript multipath-tools, action "start" failed.
