Package: procps Version: 2:3.3.11-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? On update of my laptop, then configuration process of procps fails with an error code. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? apt-get dist-upgrade * What was the outcome of this action? Dpkg fails with the following error message : "Job for systemd-sysctl.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status systemd-sysctl.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details." Executing journalctl as root displays among other things : -- L'unité (unit) systemd-sysctl.service a commencé à démarrer. janv. 08 09:27:21 nienor systemd-sysctl[5089]: Couldn't write '2' to 'kernel/dmesg_restrict', ignoring: Invalid argument janv. 08 09:27:21 nienor systemd[1]: systemd-sysctl.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE janv. 08 09:27:21 nienor systemd[1]: Failed to start Apply Kernel Variables. -- Subject: L'unité (unit) systemd-sysctl.service a échoué * What outcome did you expect instead?
