We have existing code in procps to ignore EACCES but not for EROFS, I'll
be pushing updates to all series to sort that out.

** Package changed: lxc (Ubuntu) => procps (Ubuntu)

** Also affects: procps (Ubuntu Trusty)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: procps (Ubuntu Vivid)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: Confirmed

** Also affects: procps (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Also affects: procps (Ubuntu Utopic)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

+ == SRU ==
+ Rationale:
+  sysctl now fails with current LXC as files which shouldn't be written to in containers are read-only. A previous fix applied to the EACCESS case as returned by apparmor.
+ 
+ Text case:
+  start procps
+ 
+ Regression potential:
+  All EROFS write failures will now be ignored (an error is still logged) but I can't think of a case where that'd be a bad thing. 
+ 
+ Original bug report:
+ 
  LXC 1.1 on vivid has started giving privileged containers a read-only
  /sys, which prevents Ubuntu's procps Upstart job from starting. This
  isn't normally too problematic, except that the weekend's procps SRU's
  postinst tries to start the job and causes the upgrade to fail.
  
  Disabling the procps postinst makes apt usable again.
