It seems that *any* custom configuration causes installation failure. In my case, I had to comment out the contents of /etc/sysctl.d/60-local.conf:
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0 net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1 net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 2000 These settings are different than those what were mentioned previously, yet after commenting them out, I successfully installed package wine1.2 -- as Gareth suggests, without even running "start procps". -- Packages with custom /etc/sysctl.d/30-foo.conf files can fail to install: start procps returns exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
