Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upstart

I am running edgy in one of my vservers (http://www.linux-vserver.org)
and it is not possible to do a killl 1 inside a vserver:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# kill 1
bash: kill: (1) - No such process

So the postinst of upstart fails and due to this the dependencies are not 
configured either.
I discovered that a pkill init does not return a error, although it calls kill 
and there is this in the strace:

kill(1, SIGTERM)                        = -1 ESRCH (No such process)

So it would be nice to change the kill 1 to pkill init or changing the
postinst not to fail if kill 1 fails.

Otherwise it is only hardly possible for vserver-users to update their
upstart (deleting the kill 1 line in /var/lib/dpkg/...).

TIA,
Max
