Title:
  Procps fails to upgrade with an error on start

Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Applying updates on a 12.04.3 server, the procps package failed to
  upgrade as the start script errors with error 255 (as seen in syslog).
  Purging the package (forcing dependency break) and reinstalling is not
  effective.
