I've updated systemd-swap and after the update it fails as follows:
$ systemctl status systemd-swap

It appears that it tries to parse a config value as an integer, but the value contains the string 1s. This error message is not very helpful, e.g., it would be useful to know which key contains the incorrect value. Also, this error was not appearing before.
121 the configuration file was updated MONTHS ago, there used to be a check if the swapfc_frequency was invalid but it seems that was removed with the python rewrite.
Fix it by using an up to date configuration file! Yours is probably missing loads of flags...
