Package: chrony Version: 1.24-2 Severity: serious Oh dear....
Setting up chrony (1.24-2) ... Starting /usr/sbin/chronyd... /usr/sbin/chronyd failed to start. invoke-rc.d: initscript chrony, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing chrony (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 I think I've found the source of the problem: it is the use of "pidof" in the init.d script. If the program fails to start, start-stop-daemon will complain. But pidof is sometimes too fast for chronyd, or something like that, perhaps due to the cloning of the chronyd process: on my system (a notebook PC), running the command /usr/sbin/chronyd; pidof /usr/sbin/chronyd; pidof /usr/sbin/chrondy sometimes outputs one process id, sometimes two. So either running sleep 1 before pidof should fix this, or better perhaps not to run pidof at all.
