[Bug 886843] Re: upstart 1.3-0ubuntu11 causes cups install fail

[Tillmo]

I get the same problem already with upstart 1.3-0ubuntu10 when running a
remaster script that unpacks an oneiric live CD, chroots into it, adds
universe to the sources and installs cups-pdf. The problem does not
occur when running the same remaster script with natty. Neither does it
occur when manually starting an oneiric live CD and installing cups-pdf.

Instead of installing cups-pdf, it suffices to do "apt-get install
--reinstall cups" to get the same behaviour.

Title:
  upstart 1.3-0ubuntu11 causes cups install fail

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After new upstart came around on 4th of November log from my daily run
  remaster script says:

  Setting up cups (1.5.0-8ubuntu4) ...
  Installing new version of config file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd ...
  start: Unknown job: cups
  invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed.
  dpkg: error processing cups (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of bluez-cups:
   bluez-cups depends on cups; however:
    Package cups is not configured yet.
  dpkg: error processing bluez-cups (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

  Before that everything was fine.

  Other updates from the period are only:

  libaccess-bridge-java 1.26.2-6
  gnome-shell 3.2.1-0ubuntu1
  tzdata-java 2011n-0ubuntu0.11.10

  And I wouldn't accuse any one of these. You can see the whole logs:
