When a system configuration has
userbornorsysusersenabled, the activation script does not create users or groups.This causes the
systemd-tmpfilescommand innixos enterto fail, due to configuration lines with unknown users or groups . In the originalnixos-enter, errors fromsystemd-tmpfilesare ignored. But if we add the--gracefulflag, thensystemd-tmpfileswill itself ignore unknown users or groups and exit successfully. Also, the original reason for ignoring the errors, the "failed to replace specifiers" error, does not seem to ever trigger. So I think we can stop silencing thesystemd-tmpfilescommand as well.
