The subject line had an unfortunate typo the last time I sent

can tell me what the heck this means :-).
Running dnf install to pick up loads of things for my new
f24 partition, this nonsense appeared:
Installing : postfix-2:3.1.0-1.fc24.x86_64

The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be
enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which
has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
Installing : qmobipocket-16.04.1-1.fc24.x86_64

Is this trying to tell me I can't run postfix as a service?
I don't think so.
If so, why not?
Because I just installed it and used the normal systemctl command to enable
and start the service and it started just fine.
If not, why did it want to print this gibberish and confuse me?
It has a strange sense of humor?
