[Bug 857086] Re: package apport 1.20.1-0ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: start: Job failed to start, invoke-rc.d: initscript apport, action "start" failed.

 

This happens while apport is disabled in /etc/default/apport, i. e.
after release. This is unfortunately how upstart works, but it's just
cosmetical.

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
       Status: In Progress => Won't Fix

Title:
  package apport 1.20.1-0ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: start: Job
  failed to start, invoke-rc.d: initscript apport, action "start"
  failed.

Status in Apport crash detection/reporting:

Bug description:
  I'm getting this on an apt-get upgrade performed yesterday:

  [...]
  Setting up python-problem-report (1.20.1-0ubuntu5.1) ...
  Processing triggers for python-central ...
  Setting up python-apport (1.20.1-0ubuntu5.1) ...
  Processing triggers for python-central ...
  Setting up apport (1.20.1-0ubuntu5.1) ...
  start: Job failed to start
  invoke-rc.d: initscript apport, action "start" failed.
  Processing triggers for python-central ...
  [...]

  And in syslog:
  Sep 22 06:55:51 ip-xxx init: apport pre-start process (16165) terminated with status 1
  Sep 22 06:55:51 ip-xxx init: apport post-stop process (16166) terminated with status 1

  I saw other tickets for older apport versions having fixes for
  something similar, but not for this version.

  apt-get upgrade didn't crash, but I didn't expect it to print out
  failure messages.

  Happens on:
  Description:    Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:        11.04
