Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

The upgrade actually failed because it failed to stop libvirt. Can you
show the output of 'ps -ef | grep libvirt'?

Thank you for your very prompt answer.

The output of
ps -ef | grep libvirt
is
nobody 1670 1 0 11:33 ? 00:00:00 dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --except-interface lo --dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-lease-max=253

Should I kill the process by hand?
Thanks

What happens if you just do 'start libvirt-bin'?

Does 'apt-get dist-upgrade' now succeed?

[Daniele Chermisi (daniele-chermisi)]

The package is marked as istalled, so apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't install the package libvirt-bin. So I remove and reinstall the package libvirt-bin, but the installation process still ends with the same error ad above. However the the package is installed even if the post installation process stops with an error.

I notice that the post installation process executes the command located in
/etc/gdm/PostSession/Default
Is this the correct behavior?

This is the command I used to erase and install the package

What is in your /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default ?

I don't understand why libvirt is failing to stop. Does 'grep libvir /var/log/syslog' show anything?

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

it looks like yo'ure having a problem with cgroups. can you show the output of the following commands?

mount | grep cgroup

dpkg -l | grep cgroup

cat /proc/cgroups

cat /proc/self/cgroup

[Daniele Chermisi (daniele-chermisi)]

The package cgroup is not installed.
These are the outputs
daniele@daniele-hp:~$ mount | grep cgroup
daniele@daniele-hp:~$ dpkg -l | grep cgroup
daniele@daniele-hp:~$ cat /proc/cgroups

daniele@daniele-hp:~$ cat /proc/self/cgroup

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Sorry, those were just warnings. So I'm really not seeing the root cause of your problem.

RIght now, is libvirt running? What do things look like if you stop and start it a few times?

# sudo status libvirt-bin
# sudo stop libvirt-bin
# sudo status libvirt-bin
# sudo start libvirt-bin
# sudo start libvirt-bin
# sudo virsh list
# sudo stop libvirt-bin

And finally, with libvirt-bin stopped, what do you see when you do

# sudo libvirtd -v

?

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Thanks, Daniele. I'm afraid I'm just not seeing what is happening.

Once it starts, does libvirtd keep running, or does it eventually die?

Have you made any customizations? Can you attach your files:

    /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf
    /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin

?
