Esokrates: When I do this in a chroot with a proper policy-rc.d (to suppress daemon starts, which is a must for doing things in a chroot), I get
Setting up modemmanager (1.4.0-1) ... invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/modemmanager not found. invoke-rc.d: policy-rc.d denied execution of start. and the package installs successfully. So it seems the "modemmanager not found" is a warning, but does not break stuff by itself. I guess what happens is that the postinst tries to actually start modemmanager in your chroot? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to modemmanager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1447955 Title: package modemmanager 1.4.0-1 failed to install/upgrade: invoke-rc.d fails on missing init.d script Status in modemmanager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This bug is reproduced during upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04.
