Bug Description
Binary package hint: procps
I followed the documentation in /etc/sysctl.
/etc/sysctl.
net.bridge.
net.bridge.
net.bridge.
/etc/sysctl.
net.netfilter.
but those setting are not applied on reboot. They are correctly applied when running this though :
sudo service procps start
I think that this is because the procps Upstart script starts too soon in the boot process :
/etc/init/
...
start on virtual-filesystems
task
script
cat /etc/sysctl.
end script
I don't know Upstart enough to change the "start on" line to have my settings correctly applied. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've hit a similar problem, though it's net.bridge. bridge- nf-call- iptables that I care about.
It's not because it's running too early though, it's not running at all. I confirmed this by adding some echos to a log file to the script in /etc/init/ procps. conf. It appears to be broken in both karmic and maverick. I think this must be an upstart or mountall bug.
