Thanks. Since '-e' is used in maverick and onward, I'm not sure then whether this should be seen as a bug in procps or not. Since there are at least two reports of this after qemu upgrades, it seems likely that a kvm sysctl is to blame. Can you try # sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/30-qemu-kvm-extras-static.conf # echo $? and tell us what that says? > Would you mind explaining this?

It seems to imply that the entry in /etc/sysctl.d/30-qemu-kvm-extras-static.conf, which is vm.mmap_min_addr = 4097 is unknown. On my natty system, I see: # sysctl mm.mmap_min_addr error: "mm.mmap_min_addr" is an unknown key # sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 though again this is a natty system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799858 Title: package qemu-kvm-extras-static 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/799858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
