[Bug 1350035] Re: Debootstrap warning; Warning: Failure while configuring required packages.

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/w.procps to provide /usr/bin/w (w) in auto mode
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: insserv: Service mountkernfs has to be enabled to start service procps
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: insserv: exiting now!
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: dpkg: error processing package procps (--configure):
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap:  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: Setting up plymouth (0.9.0-0ubuntu2) ...
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: dpkg: plymouth: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap:  plymouth depends on initramfs-tools.
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap:  plymouth depends on upstart (>= 1.11-0ubuntu3).
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap:  plymouth depends on udev (>= 166-0ubuntu4).
Jul 29 10:51:02 debootstrap: 
Jul 29 10:51:03 debootstrap: update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Jul 29 10:51:04 debootstrap: Setting up upstart (1.13.1-0ubuntu2) ...
Jul 29 10:51:04 debootstrap: dpkg: upstart: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
Jul 29 10:51:04 debootstrap:  upstart depends on ifupdown (>= 0.6.10ubuntu5); however:
Jul 29 10:51:04 debootstrap:   Package ifupdown is not configured yet.
Jul 29 10:51:04 debootstrap: 

So package "initscripts" was not configured yet. When props & ifupdown
debootstrap configuration happens:

Jul 29 10:51:01 debootstrap: Setting up procps (1:3.3.9-1ubuntu5) ...
Jul 29 10:51:01 debootstrap: dpkg: procps: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested:
Jul 29 10:51:01 debootstrap:  procps depends on initscripts.
Jul 29 10:51:01 debootstrap: 

At the end it does all work out fine though:
Jul 29 10:52:03 debootstrap: Setting up procps (1:3.3.9-1ubuntu5) ...
Jul 29 10:52:06 debootstrap: Setting up ifupdown (0.7.48.1ubuntu4) ...

I am guessing we have circular dependencies somewhere, which are broken
and eventually fixed. This is also related to "init" metapackage, and
it's desire for immediate configuration of upstart. This was not present
in trusty.
