package daemontools-run 1:0.76-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: start: Unknown job: svscan

Binary package hint: daemontools

I'm using a German GUI. So the error message was in German. Here is an translation:

package daemontools-run 1:0.76-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: sub-process installed post-installation-script returned error code 1

This error occurred first during distribution upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. The installation continued but now it comes up every time I install or de-install any program.
