It looks like the problem is that the runit package is using the old upstart directory, /etc/event.d/ for runsvdir. I copied the file to /etc/init and runit was able to start.
$ sudo initctl start runsvdir initctl: Unknown job: runsvdir $ sudo initctl list | grep runsvdir $ sudo cp /etc/event.d/runsvdir /etc/init/runsvdir.conf $ sudo initctl list | grep runsvdir runsvdir stop/waiting $ sudo start runsvdir runsvdir start/running, process 9531 A patch is attached that fixes the directory location of the runsvdir file in the package's rules file on karmic. ** Attachment added: "runit.debian.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30199242/runit.debian.patch ** Changed in: runit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- package runit 2.0.0-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
