[Bug 1779543] Re: package haproxy (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: installed haproxy package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Hasenack]

Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

This is the error reported in the logs:
Setting up haproxy (1.8.8-1ubuntu0.1) ...
Job for haproxy.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status haproxy.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

It doesn't tell us enough about why the service failed to start, though.

It also doesn't look like you removed haproxy, as the above shows it
being setup.

What happens when you run these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -f install

If it fails again, then please attach the haproxy configuration file
(/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg) and the logs, if any, from
/var/log/haproxy.log

Thanks
