[Bug 1301828] Re: udev postinst script fails → package does not configure: “/etc/init.d/udev[115]: kill: udev: arguments must be jobs or process IDs”

[Martin Pitt]

/etc/init.d/udev[115]: kill: udev: arguments must be jobs or process IDs

We don't support running sysvinit on Ubuntu, only upstart.  (udev has
upstart jobs, nobody ever tested the init scripts)

What kind of machine is that? Did you uninstall upstart, or move away
/etc/init/udev* or similar?

** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
