[Bug 1448164] Re: runit cannot be installed (Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused)

[Matheus Bruhns Bastos]

On 16.04 I still had this issue, even after following the uninstall-
purge-autoremove-install (git-all, git and runit). Followed what
@JCD(jchd) mentioned and it worked out.

Solution:
- $ sudo apt install runit # should return error
- In file /var/lib/dpkg/info/runit.postinst, comment lines
if [ -x /sbin/start ]; then #provided by upstart
  /sbin/start runsvdir
fi
- Save and quit
- Finish runit installation: $ sudo dpkg --configure -a
- Uncomment previously commented lines

[Bug 1448164] Re: runit cannot be installed (Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused)

[JCD]

The issue is still there: when I try to apt install git-all on my fresh
Ubuntu 16.04 install, runit crashes with an output similar to
@tony.vandenhaag, without any reference to dconf-tools or any package
other than runit and git-daemon-run.

I found the solution is this thread:
https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php?topic=5210.0

Apparently, it's a problem with the postinst (post installation) script
in the upstream "runit" package that is attempting to configure runit
for BOTH systemd AND upstart, but though upstart is installed, it's NOT
the active init system so upstarts "/sbin/start runsvdir" fails, the
postinst script throws an error, and dpkg stops the
installation/configuration.

Solution:
- In file /var/lib/dpkg/info/runit.postinst, comment lines 
if [ -x /sbin/start ]; then #provided by upstart
  /sbin/start runsvdir
fi
- Save and quit
- Finish runit installation by running sudo dpkg --configure -a
- Uncomment previously commented lines

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

>I don't understand why it says "Fix released" because nothing has
changed since 2015.

The Fix Released status refers to Ubuntu in general. If a bug is fixed
in the latest version (like this is), then the bug is considered fixed.
(See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Bug%20statuses for more details and
description on bug statuses)

However, as you mention this still affect some releases, like 16.04
(code named Xenial). The Xenial task which is currently marked as
Triaged is tracking this. So it says that the bug is fixed in newer
releases, but 16.04 is still missing a patch. Unfortunately, making a
patch for this issue isn't neccessarily trivial, see also the discussion
in comments #25-#30. Though someone changed their mind and marked it as
Triaged for 16.04, so something might happen...

[J. Schraten]

Confirming for an up-to-date Xubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Could work around by installing 'git' instead of 'git-all'.

However, I don't understand why it says "Fix released" because nothing
has changed since 2015. It is still impossible to install 'git-daemon-
run' on Ubuntu LTS.

[Krellan]

Although not strictly Ubuntu, I can confirm this bug happens on Linux
Mint 18.3 "Sylvia", Cinnamon 64-bit. This helped me fix it:

sudo apt-get purge runit
sudo apt-get purge git-daemon-run
sudo apt-get install -f

It is not necessary to purge git-all or git packages. Keep the rest,
only get rid of runit and git-daemon-run. After doing this, Git works
fine on my system, and apt-get is clean.

[Robie Basak]

20:27  Could someone add a Xenial task for bug 1448164? Looks like
it would be hard to patch, but might be easier to find if there's an
open Xenial task for the issue.

We can add a Xenial task as the bug impacts Xenial, but perhaps it
should be Won't Fix since we don't intend to actually fix it? Otherwise
we might set the expectation that it is waiting to be fixed in Xenial,
which wouldn't be true.

Hi, LocutusOfBorg

I tested this on Ubuntu 16.10 and I am no longer able to trigger this

[Pablo Carranza]

The workaround works perfectly fine, I've just installed runit in xenial
this way.

Thanks Tony.

[tony.vandenhaag]

One final correction: after re-reading the previous posts, on 2-8-2016
the package qmail-run was cited, and in my post the package dconf-tools
should have been qmail-run.  To be clear, dconf-tools does not depend on
runit and should not have been used as an example but qmail-run does
depend on runit and should have been used instead. Qmail-run will
install with the workaround.

ln -s /sbin/initctl /sbin/initctl should read  ln -s /sbin/initctl /sbin/start

[Bug 1448164] Re: runit cannot be installed (Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused)

[tony.vandenhaag]

On a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 apt-get install git-all fails with:

Setting up runit (2.1.2-3ubuntu1) ...
start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket 
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

Some other packages such as dconf-tools fail with the same error.

The error message refers to upstart, and upstart is installed on the
system but it's not running. Instead the system uses systemd:

   dpkg: ii  upstart   1.13.2-0ubuntu21   amd64  event-based init daemon - 
essential binaries
   ps aux: root 1  0.2  0.0 185368   484 ?Ss   16:43   0:02 
/sbin/init auto noprompt
   ls -l: /sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd

The error message also refers to runit. Downloading the runit .deb
package and unpacking it shows the problem is the postinstall script.
The postinstall script first tries to start runit using init, then
systemd and then upstart.

The problem is, even though runit is successfuly started by systemd the
postinstall script will later try to use upstart. Since upstart is not
running it cannot be connected to, which then causes the error "...
Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart..."

Here is the line where runit is started by systemd:
   test ! -d /run/systemd/system || systemctl start runit.service
If systemctl start runit, then at this point the script should stop. 

Instead several lines later at the end of the file upstart is tried:
  if [ -x /sbin/start ]; then #provided by upstart
 /sbin/start runsvdir
  fi

Workaround: Install runit
Steps:
If needed, purge failed packages such as git-all, git-daemon-run
apt-get update
rm /sbin/start
apt-get install runit   # can also install git-all and runit will 
also be installed
ln -s /sbin/initctl /sbin/initctl
apt-get install git-all  # or other package such as dconf-tools
(all commands require sudo) 
fix: Change the logic in the postinstall script in the runit .deb package to 
not start runit by upstart if it has already been started by systemd   

All individual git packages such as git-el can be installed separately -
except git-daemon-run which is the package in git-all needing runit.
Other packages requiring runit(e.g., dconf-tools) can also be installed
using the workaround. Once the runit package is successfuly installed
the workaround is no longer needed. If git-all is successfuly installed
using the workaround then runit is also successfully installed and no
other packages will fail with "Failed to connect to socket
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused." It goes without saying there
is not an upstart bug and only going back to upstart will solve it...

BTW - a fresh install of 16.04 server does not have upstart installed so
git-all installs with no errors.

Hi,

Confirmed the instructions per Git's site using 'git-all' throws this
error on Ubuntu 16.04 for me also.

Resolving as Thomas Prufer indicated solves this issue.

Thanks.

Hi,

I had the same problem.

Fresh installation of 16.04 LTS and apt install git-all.

To get this solved purge runit and after this purge git & git-all.

Than install just the specific packages you need instead of git-all.

Also letsencrypt do not need all of it!

After some research, it seems that this problem was caused by git-all.
Removing git-all fixed the problem for me.

Was installing git-all, and know i have the same issue.

I need it for letsencrypt. It is very important to make the www-web
safer.

Have anyone a reason?

This is a part from the command line output (But the text output is
partly in Germanso German Users can easily find this page)

[Jeff]

Still the same with released 15.10.

I think this is critical, because it breaks other packages.

It's quite clear that this bug comes from runit not working with
systemd, and I don't know what can be done to make it cooperate (or if
this is possible at all) - but how could it be released in the first
place in such condition if systemd is the default?

Going back to upstart is not really an option. I imagine it will break
more things than it will do good.
