your system is not fully updated: you should have upstart-bin 1.13.2-0ubuntu11 & init-system-helpers 1.22ubuntu6

switch to 'main' server if you are updating from a local mirror

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

updating from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid main I get the same error.

[Gustav Ekner (gustav-ekner)]

I get the same error.

@Gustav @manjo

which are your packages version ? have you third party installed ?

you should have these now:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart

I have the same issue:

Processing triggers for man-db (2.7.0.2-5) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/init-system-helpers_1.22ubuntu6_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried different repo servers.

Happened to me too when I updated my vivid system after a few weeks again.

I still have upstart-bin (1.13.2-0ubuntu9) from before the transition to upstart installed and tried to upgrade it.

init-system-helpers has a Replaces/Breaks on the transitioned upstart package but not on the upstart-bin from before the transition. Trying to upgrade upstart-bin first doesn't work as this pulls init-system-helpers too and apt tries to upgrade init-system-helpers before upstart-bin.

init-system-helpers should also get a Replaces/Breaks on the old upstart-bin package. I assume upgrades from utopic (which have upstart-bin with files) to vivid are also affected by this.

> init-system-helpers should also get a Replaces/Breaks on the old upstart-bin package.

Right. But instead it Breaks/Replaces upstart instead, which is wrong. This mistake was accidentally uploaded because of some coordination issues. Confusingly both upstart-bin 1.13.2-0ubuntu9 and upstart 1.13.2-0ubuntu9 shipped /lib/init/apparmor-profile-load, so I'll just declare Breaks/Replaces against both.

This bug was fixed in the package init-system-helpers - 1.22ubuntu8

---------------
init-system-helpers (1.22ubuntu8) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Make init "Essential: yes" again, it's the only way to guarantee a
    sane upgrade path for people without ubuntu-minimal (LP: #1436956)

I can confirm that the problem is resolved for me on a vivid install.
