Title:
  Unable to upgrade procps inside an LXC

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm unable to upgrade to procps 1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.1 inside an LXC on
  Ubuntu 12.04.3 (same version for both host and container).

  When I run 'apt-get upgrade' I get:
  Setting up procps (1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.1) ...
  start: Job failed to start
  invoke-rc.d: initscript procps, action "start" failed.
  dpkg: error processing procps (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   procps
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  So I'm unable to cleanly upgrade the system. Nothing has changed in
  the machine settings. Same error with dpkg -i.
