Just installed Mosquitto on my Raspberry Pi. I used the Add/Remove Software from the Preferences Menu to install Mosquitto and the command line utilities.

Works OK when run directly from the command line. Trying to start using systemctl fails.
pi@raspberrypi:/etc/mosquitto/conf.d $ sudo systemctl start mosquitto
pi@raspberrypi:/etc/mosquitto/conf.d $ sudo systemctl status mosquitto
● mosquitto.service - LSB: mosquitto MQTT v3.1 message broker

Any ideas?
