Adept Broken from Cupsys!!!--(Solved)--

[b0uncyfr0]

Tried to install and update some random stuff from konsole and somethings wrong with Cupsys. This is what i got from konsole:

Unpacking replacement libcairo2 ...
Setting up cupsys (1.3.2-1ubuntu7.2) ...
Reloading AppArmor profiles : done.
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN]
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
-n: not really
-f: force
dpkg: error processing cupsys (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up libcairo2 (1.4.10-1ubuntu4.1) ...

Setting up libcairo2-dev (1.4.10-1ubuntu4.1) ...
Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
cupsys
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I removed cupsys and tried to reinstall but i got the same error. Whats going on?

EDIT: After checking Ubuntuforums, threre are posts about the same problem less than a day old so im guessing its a bug. One user said to force-reconfigure so i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force cupsys and set it up but still doesnt fix anything.

Re: Adept Broken from Cupsys!!!

The line that causes the error in the post installation script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/cupsys.postinst) is:

update-rc.d cupsys multiuser 19 >/dev/null

It seems the version of update-rc.d installed on your machine doesn't support 'multiuser' (This is rather odd, since my gutsy machine has update-rc.d that supports it:

$update-rc.d
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults|multiuser [NN | sNN kNN]
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
-n: not really
-f: force

Which version of 'sysv-rc' package you have installed? (/usr/sbin/update-rc.d is in package sysv-rc)
You can also check that the correct binary is run:

sudo which update-rc.d

should return '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d'

Re: Adept Broken from Cupsys!!!

I have sysv-rc version 2.86.ds1-38 installed and running sudo which update-rc.d gave me /usr/sbin/update-rc.d. Very Weird..

The current version in the gutsy repos is 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu31, is it possible you've gotten your 'newer' version from a third party repository?

Reverting to the official ubuntu version should fix your issues

Re: Adept Broken from Cupsys!!!

Thanks Kubicle, that worked perfect. I think i got the updated from updated sysv-rc from one of the medibuntu repos so watch out guys.
