[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package squid3 - 3.1.15-1ubuntu3

---------------
squid3 (3.1.15-1ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/squid3.upstart: Properly return 0 from maxfds() if $SQUID_MAXFD is
    unset, else pre-start will fail as well. Also fix paths to config file.
    (LP: #891445)
  * debian/squid3.upstart: Modify to better reflect functionality of Debian's
    squid3.rc
  * debian/rules: Fix permissions on upstart job

Title:
  package squid3 3.1.15-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Status in “squid3” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Installing squid3 (as a dependency of squid-deb-proxy) onto a clean
  system fails when the postinst tries to start squid3.

  dmesg contains [99409.540189] init: squid3 pre-start process (31725)
  terminated with status 2.

  Tracing that back with trusty echo statements in the upstart script shows it dying at the line: 
      cdr=`grepconf2 cache_dir /var/spool/squid`
