Status in “procps” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: procps

# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up procps (1:3.2.8-9ubuntu3) ...
start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
dpkg: error processing procps (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 procps

Cause is not allowing propc start to fail in the postinst script. Patch attached.
