Bug description:
[SRU justification]
In a container, the procps package fails to upgrade because sysctl will fail
when it can't write to certain keys. Since the procps has just been SRUed,
this means anyone running Ubuntu in a container (12.04 or later) will have
upgrade failures because of the procps upstart job failing to start.
[Test case]
1. Set up precise in an lxc container.
2. Apply updates from the -updates pocket.
3. Observe that the procps package fails to install.
4. Enable -proposed.
5. Install the procps package from -proposed.
6. Observe that the package upgrades successfully.
[Regression potential]
This patch changes the behavior of the sysctl program and causes permission
errors to be non-fatal. Anything relying on the current behavior (e.g., when
sysctl is run by a non-root user) will regress as a result of this change, but
it's not obvious why anything would rely on this since sysctl is not meant to
be invoked by non-root users.

the /var/log/upstart/procps.log says,

net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr = 2

And the output when i try to start procps is just the following,
root@xxxxx:~# service procps start
start: Job failed to start
