** Description changed: - [IMPACT] - * Users upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 12.10 will encounter upgrade errors because - apparmor_parser fails to load new policy on an old kernel. Specifically, the - block_suspend capability is new in the 12.10 kernel and does not exist in the - 12.04 LTS kernel. On upgrade, the cups upstart job calls - /lib/init/apparmor-profile-load from upstart, which in turn calls apparmor_parser. - apparmor_parser will exit with error on upgrades causing the upstart job to fail - no restart, which is performed during the upgrade. + [IMPACT] + * Users upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 12.10 will encounter upgrade errors because + apparmor_parser fails to load new policy on an old kernel.

This seems to be because the apparmor profile looks for suspend capability but the virtualized builders do not have it. Here seems to be the relevant log: AppArmor parser error for /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd at line 24: Invalid capability block_suspend. start: Job failed to start invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing cups (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: cups E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Full log: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/indicator-session- ci/label=quantal/16/console
