[Bug 771372] Re: procps runs too early in the boot process

[Tobin Davis]

The package currently in maverick-proposed fails to install when doing a
netinstall with d-i apt-setup/proposed boolean true in the preseed.  I
would assume this will fail once the package hits maverick-updates.

I have tested this on AMD64 and armel images.  Here is the relevent log
data:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  The start on criteria is for procps.conf is:
  start on virtual-filesystems

  This runs before some kernel modules are loaded, and procps applies
  the settings before they "exist", this is most noticed with network
  and network-related jobs (nfs, bridge).

  This bug may be considered a duplicate of LP Bug #690433.  I am
  opening a new one anyway, however because I think it's worth
  considering a more robust solution that would work for any possible
  kernel module.
