This is particularly troubling because the 'restart' command does not re-load the upstart job file, while invoke-rc.d's restart method, IIRC, runs stop/start for this very reason. That said, currently if the process is stop/waiting, its left in that very state on upgrade. So while this is a bug, and should be fixed on the next upload, I don't believe it is the cause of the issue. The things that can cause a "failed to restart" will also cause a 'failed to stop' or 'failed to start'. Namely: pre-start exits non zero post-stop exits non zero main process cannot be executed There are a bunch of things in the pre-start in particular that might fail. In this case, re-running the preinst would result in the postinst succeeding, but squid not running. I do think this is related, but not the same, so I've opened bug #726348 to address that issue separately. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to squid in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717397 Title: package squid 2.7.STABLE7-1ubuntu12.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
