I found a workaround to this issue and logged it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/daemontools/+bug/1617691/comments/4
I got the package situation resolved that was caused due to performing a 14.04->16.04 LTS upgrade. I removed the following packages: dnscache-run daemontools-run Then reinstalled them from the raw .deb files I had downloaded to the server. $sudo dpkg -i daemontools-run_0.76-6ubuntu1_all.deb $sudo dpkg -i dnscache-run_1.05-8ubuntu1_all.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615318 Title: package daemontools-run 1:0.76-6ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/daemontools/+bug/1615318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
