yeah, that seems to be right as a full service restart always seems to 
fix this issue.

I've worked around this issue now by systemd-masking the condor service 
before its first install and only unmask it once our configuration is 
present.

Thanks a lot for the feedback (and for the now released Debian trixie 
24LTS packages!)

Cheers

PS: Probably unnecessary as hardly anyone seems to use saltstack for 
config management, but for us, it looks somewhat shortened like this:

condor packages:  pkg.installed:
    - pkgs:
      - condorcondor service masked before first start-up:
  service.masked:
    - name: condor
    # kind of wonky test if we are already configured
    - unless: grep -q Atlas /etc/condor/condor_config
    - require_in:
      - pkg: condor packages[...setting up all of our configuration 
bits and pieces...]

condor-base-install:
  service.running:
    - name: condor
    - enable: True
    - reload: True
    - unmask: True
    - unmask_runtime: True
    - watch:
      - file: /etc/condor/condor_config
