I have the same problem. Running a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, no
java package installed. I've followed the installation instructions at
http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian-stable/ exactly. I end up with the same
results:
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.9) ...
Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-16) ...
Processing triggers for ca-certificates (20160104ubuntu0.14.04.1) ...
Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs... 0 added, 0 removed; done.
Running hooks in /etc/ca-certificates/update.d....
done.
done.
STDERR: invoke-rc.d: initscript jenkins, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package jenkins (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 7
Errors were encountered while processing:
jenkins
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
There was no previously installed Jenkins on this vm. If I login to the
box and run 'apt-get install jenkins' a 2nd time, Jenkins starts and all is
well. The install automatically pulls in all of the dependencies as it
should, including openJDK:
root@default-ubuntu-1404:~# java -version
java version "1.7.0_111"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.7) (7u111-2.6.7-0ubuntu0.14.04.3)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.111-b01, mixed mode)
Using the stable or the LTS repo has the same result.
