Every time that a new service is installed and systemctl tries to reload, a timeout error occurs:

root@beagle:/tmp/o# systemctl enable vlmcsd
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/vlmcsd.service → /etc/systemd/system/vlmcsd.service.
Failed to reload daemon: Connection timed out

Same happens if you install openssh-server, for example or another service. It seems that same problem is reported for ArchLinux:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3353

According to this, the problem occurs when lvm2 2.02.153 is installed.

I am using Kali Rolling 2016.1 and systemctl 230:

root@beagle:~# systemctl --version
systemd 230

root@beagle:/etc# cat /etc/os-release
