configuring i2p with dpkg autostart doesnt work

[anonymous maybe]

using this command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure i2p

then choose Yes for:

 The I2P router can be run as a daemon that starts automatically when   │ 
   │ your computer boots up. This is the recommended configuration.         │ 
   │                                                                        │ 
   │ Should the I2P router be started at boot?   

Expected behavior:

should work automatically after restart

Actual behavior:

Doesnt work automatically after restart
