[Bruce Wolfe]

Upgrading to 14.04, error:

Could not install "kmod"

"subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1"

1. Ubuntu 14.04
2. kmod:
  Installed: 18-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 18-1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 18-1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu/ utopic/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3. Install correctly
4. Error, aborts upgrade, states will start "dpkg --configure -a"

Possible solution: Find this working for some but not 'sysv-rc'.

[Bruce Wolfe (brucewolfe-sf)]

Solution in #2 works.
For some reason either there is an overwrite issue to /etc/init.d or there is a missing process to 'rm' items in this folder before upgrading each pkg.

Sure thing. Just to let you know, the latest kernel is causing bootup
problems. I had to boot using 3.13.0-40 in order to finish the upgrade. I
am waiting for the 800 files to finish downloading/installing. I'll update
the bug report.

virtuoso-nepomuk contains the broken init script. The package has been removed after the precise release.

Adding a quirk to release-upgrader to remove the init script is the only option I can think of.
SRUing the package in precise wouldn't work since that won't affect systems that have been upgraded from precise to trusty.

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

In one particular case a trusty->utopic failed because the virtuoso-nepomuk package was still present in rc state.

It happened for my in an upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04. Adding the ending comment "### END INIT INFO
" fixed the issue.

So that this:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: virtuoso
# Required-Start: $syslog
# Required-Stop: $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start Virtuoso database server on startup
# Description: Start and stop the primary instance of Virtuoso running
# in /var/lib/virtuoso/db/. The first time this runs, it loads the
# Conductor administrative package.
###

Becomes this:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: virtuoso
# Required-Start: $syslog
# Required-Stop: $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start Virtuoso database server on startup
# Description: Start and stop the primary instance of Virtuoso running
# in /var/lib/virtuoso/db/. The first time this runs, it loads the
# Conductor administrative package.
### END INIT INFO
