    I am not container-compatible, when i changed the correct container it detected the change at least, but:
    What i did was, change the correct container (wires-race), then removed wires-gp (was not running) from configuration (was not running).

    Is the problem my rapid two-stage? configure wires-race, and remove wires-gp before wires-race was configured causing this?

    Possibly. I'll have to try it myself, but yeah there's a certain amount of async job going on in the background.
