I have concluded that this problem only appears if the -proposed package has never been installed AND cupsd is running.
So, the way to reproduce this is: - Do a clean Ubuntu install - Install updates - Enable -proposed - Make sure that cupsd is running - Update cups-daemon. When I do this, the CUPS service gets in a weird state in which it can't be successfully stopped with systemctl nor invoke-rc.d. I have tried reloading systemd configuration, stopping and disabling cups.path, but the only thing that I have used with success to make the init system function again is to manually run "killall cupsd". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642966 Title: package cups-daemon 2.1.3-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1642966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
