[Bug 1001792] Re: didn't upgrade properly -package backuppc 3.2.1-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu.

Looks like backuppc failed to stop or the init script is broken.

Please can you check for the existence of /var/run/backuppc/BackupPC.pid

If this file exists then please run:

  ps -aef | grep `cat /var/run/backuppc/BackupPC.pid`

If no output is return (or no output with the words BackupPC in it) then
please run:

  sudo rm cat /var/run/backuppc/BackupPC.pid
  sudo apt-get -f install

Hopefully this will resolve your issue.

This might be a duplicate of bug 992335 - which could indicate a problem
with the upgrade process.  Where you running backuppc prior to upgrading
to 12.04?

Marking 'Incomplete' pending your response.  Please set the status back
to 'New' once you have provided the requested information.

Thanks.
