Happened to me too when I updated my vivid system after a few weeks again. I still have upstart-bin (1.13.2-0ubuntu9) from before the transition to upstart installed and tried to upgrade it.
init-system-helpers has a Replaces/Breaks on the transitioned upstart package but not on the upstart-bin from before the transition. Trying to upgrade upstart-bin first doesn't work as this pulls init-system-helpers too and apt tries to upgrade init-system-helpers before upstart-bin. init-system-helpers should also get a Replaces/Breaks on the old upstart-bin package. I assume upgrades from utopic (which have upstart- bin with files) to vivid are also affected by this. ** Changed in: init-system-helpers (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to init-system-helpers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1439988 Title: package init-system-helpers 1.22ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/lib/init/apparmor-profile-load', which is also in package upstart-bin 1.13.2-0ubuntu9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1439988/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
