Although not strictly Ubuntu, I can confirm this bug happens on Linux Mint 18.3 "Sylvia", Cinnamon 64-bit. This helped me fix it:
sudo apt-get purge runit sudo apt-get purge git-daemon-run sudo apt-get install -f It is not necessary to purge git-all or git packages. Keep the rest, only get rid of runit and git-daemon-run. After doing this, Git works fine on my system, and apt-get is clean. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448164 Title: runit cannot be installed (Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xpl-perl/+bug/1448164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
