The problem in the installation phase of the package is caused by the following part of the dnsproxy.postinst script
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/dnsproxy" ]; then update-rc.d dnsproxy defaults >/dev/null if [ -x "`which invoke-rc.d 2>/dev/null`" ]; then invoke-rc.d dnsproxy start || exit $? else /etc/init.d/dnsproxy start || exit $? fi fi which try to start the dnsproxy deamon. Unfortunatly the default configuration that comes with the dnsproxy is not generic. In fact, the package file /etc/dnsproxy.conf contains the following line listen 192.168.168.1 which avoid the starting of the deamon if the host has different IP address. I believe that the dnsproxy.postinst script should not start the deamon but it should provide a message such as "Please configure the dnsproxy to tailor your need and then start it with the sudo /etc/init.d/dnsproxy start" -- dnsproxy 1.16-0.1 package fails to install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681303 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
