Uploaded the fix to all series (after testing the fix on vivid). Note that the problem is mostly visible on series which don't have procps-instance.conf as those that do will not fail on upgrade (but sysctl itself still fails).
To test the fix, it's best to run: cat /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | sysctl -e -p - && echo pass ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Utopic) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Vivid) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Trusty) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stéphane Graber (stgraber) ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Utopic) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Utopic) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Vivid) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Precise) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Vivid) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1419554 Title: Can't upgrade procps in LXC 1.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1419554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
