[Bug 430224] Re: [Bug 531912] Re: /etc/init.d/ssh seems to work, but actually upstart is used.

Rolf, I see your point, and I think we can offer a "less than perfect"
solution.

I've created a daily build PPA for the latest version of Upstart in
Ubuntu, which will build an upstart with chroot support for lucid and
maverick.

I'll just host it under my own PPA for now, but eventually we should
put this under the ubuntu-server-edgers team stewardship. Once 12.04 is
released, we can just freeze this PPA and that would cover lucid upgrades
for its lifecycle.

The PPA is

ppa:clint-fewbar/upstart

It should build upstart in the next 20 minutes or so.

Maybe you can give it a try on lucid and if it seems to work and provide
the chroot support you're looking for, we can add it to the edgers setup
and for users who have extensive chroot needs, this will work.

I already talked with the backports maintainer, Scott Kitterman, and he
felt that upstart is too core to the system to provide in the official
backports.

Title:
  init: support chroots

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in Upstart:
  Fix Released
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “upstart” source package in Karmic:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  $ sudo chroot /media/karmic dpkg --configure -a
  Setting up cups (1.4.1-1) ...
  update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/cups missing LSB information
  update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
  Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
  utility, e.g. service cups start

  Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
  Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start cups
  start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
  invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed.
  dpkg: error processing cups (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   cups

  
  WORKAROUND: Create an executable /media/karmic/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d with this in it:
  #!/bin/sh
  exit 101
