Can anyone help me with this? The problem is related to procps and
apport-gtk. I tried to install apache and it failed due to procps.
~$ mv /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch .
~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Setting up procps (1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.3) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript procps, action start failed.
dpkg: error processing procps (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error
I think the procps has been the cause for the problem for the whole time. I
tried re-installing it with synaptics and sudo apt-get -f install but I
just got the same old error message like above:
Setting up procps (1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.3) ...

What's your output of
cat /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | sudo sysctl -p -
and
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
?
cat /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | sudo sysctl -p -
kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7
net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr = 2
net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 2
kernel.kptr_restrict = 1
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1

I recall writing this to the config file myself. I tried to improve system
performance and protect my SSD. I don't recall, though, adding a period
there.
Removed the period and run sudo apt-get install
Glad to hear that!
As they say, the devil is in the details. :)
What's your output of
cat /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch
?
It's:
foreign-architecture @MULTIARCH@
That doesn't make sense to me and apparently neither to dpkg. Edit the file
as super user and put a # in front of the line.
Then try updating and upgrading.
I don't think it had any effect.
