package boinc-client 6.10.17+dfsg-2ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: /etc/init.d/boinc-client: 203: cannot create /proc/$PID/oom_adj: Directory nonexistent

[josa]

Binary package hint: boinc

Upgrade of Boinc gave error message saying something on failing script. In synaptic however package versions are reported as 6.10.17+dfsg-2ubuntu2 for both Latest and Installed.
Boinc seems to be running fine and there is no update shown in Update manager any more.

I believe there was an Boinc update I got earlier today as well. Is this related to the reason for the new update?
Do not remember the actual message now but I think it was only what is in ErrorMessage bellow. I hope it is in the attached information,

Thank you for your bug report.

The non-fatal error appears to be:
