salt: Enabling services with runit fails

Description of Issue/Question

I am having trouble with the enable feature for runit services on Void Linux. Unfortunately I do not really understand what exactly is happening - in fact I don’t understand how this behaviour is even possible - but it seems services do not start up when being linked by saltstack.

Setup

Using a very simple sls like this:

cron:
  pkg.installed:
    - name: cronie
  service.running:
    - name: crond
    - enable: True
    - require:
      - pkg: cron

On void linux Linux mail.*.* 4.11.11_1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 15 21:48:45 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Make sure crond ist disabled:

[root@mail admin]# sv stop crond
ok: down: crond: 1s, normally up
[root@mail admin]# rm /var/service/cron*

run salt-call (in local mode, if that is relevant)

[root@mail admin]# salt-call --log-level debug state.apply

now to check if crond is running and fix it:

[root@mail admin]# ls -l /var/service/crond
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 25 13:05 /var/service/crond -> /etc/sv/crond
[root@mail admin]# sv status crond
down: crond: 166s, normally up
[root@mail admin]# rm /var/service/crond
[root@mail admin]# ln -s /etc/sv/crond /var/service/crond
[root@mail admin]# sv status crond
run: crond: (pid 6990) 1s
