problems with 10.04 upgrade to 12.04 (procps)

[Liviu Andronic]

(starting a new thread)

 Hello
 I've run into similar hell when upgrading from Lucid to Precise (and
 essentially following the instructions and the release notes). My
 issues are not dissimilar to the 'lxde' ones reported here, although
 more serious.

 Bottom line is that the upgrade botched up, 3.2.0 cannot be booted
 fully ('mountall' fails) to a virtual console, and I can operate the
 new Precise only from a chroot environment. For more info on this
 particular case see my xubuntu-users post [1].

 Following your suggestions (and several others in this thread) here is
 the output that I get:
 cat /var/log/dist-upgrade/ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187299/
 dpkg --configure -a : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187465/
 apt-get -fy install : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187482/
 apt-get dist-upgrade : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187510/
 dpkg --get-selections : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1187518/

 From inspecting the output it seems to me that the first error
concerns the configuration of procps:
Setting up procps (1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6) ...
initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
invoke-rc.d: initscript procps, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing procps (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1


 Any ideas on how to deal with these errors? Should I report this on
Launchpad? Regards
 Liviu
