Description:

A bug in the systemctl output format from v245 breaks the zsh completions shipped with systemd. Several subcommands are affected as well as machinectl command.

I reported the issue upstream, and someone was kind enough to quickly provide a patch. I use the provided patch and it works well.

I have no doubt that the fix will make it's way into the next stable release of systemd, however I've seen that some other minor bugfixes have been backported and I was hoping this one could be as well. It's just a formatting bugfix, but imo the impact on usability is comparatively large. Thanks.

Additional info:
package: systemd 245-3
upstream report: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15077
patch: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15081

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use zsh
2. systemctl stop <TAB>

Expect: complete the names of stoppable services
Actual: nothing
