[Bug 602896] Re: Fails to update in pbuilder: start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package procps - 1:3.2.8-9ubuntu4

---------------
procps (1:3.2.8-9ubuntu4) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/postinst, debian/rules: instead of manually calling 'start' in
    the postinst, allow dh_installinit to DTRT.  LP: #602896.
  * debian/sysctl.d/README: fix the documentation to point at the standard
    interfaces, not at the 'start' command.

# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up procps (1:3.2.8-9ubuntu3) ...

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