Please re-read my previous post. sysv-rc is the package you need to replace, not kvm. Try running: apt-get install --reinstall sysv-rc You then need to check if there are other Debian packages installed on your Ubuntu machine and replace those. If you run 'aptitude' then these will probably

Your problem is caused by mixing Debian and Ubuntu packages and expecting them to work without any problems. kvm is not the only package that you are having this problem with. If you look at your own output from 'apt-get upgrade' you will see that both the ntp and pulseaudio packages are not insta

I did have debian repo's defined in my sources.list, for specific apps & purposes, but they have long-since been commented out/removed. As for the KVM installation, I've been using the standard ubuntu apt/aptitude repositories & installation/upgrade methods since day-1 (`sudo apt-get update && s

If you are running version 2.86.ds1-38+etchnhalf.1 of sysv-rc then that is from a Debian 4.0 (aka "etch") repository and is not the Ubuntu 8.04 (aka "hardy") sysv-rc package. Have you try to move from Debian to Ubuntu via apt-get? If not then try running: grep -i debian /etc/apt/sources.list

Hi John; thanks for the response I'm not sure whether or not this issue is purely a KVM issue, but I've gone from pillar to post in the various IRC channels (kvm, vibvirt, ubuntu-virt, qemu, etc), and every group indicated that it's not an issue in their domain. As indicated above & in the forum,

freakalad, I don't think the problem is in the kvm package, because the help message you get from update-rc.d does not list multiuser as a valid argument. This is output I get from update-rc.d in version 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu45.1 of the sysv-rc package. $ /usr/sbin/update-rc.d usage: updat

Hey Marc, Haven't worked up the nerve to run the upgrade again since I got a working system back after downgrading KVM. Until the new patch comes out (8.2, it think) along with a corresponding libvirt update, I'm a bit hesitant to run the update, since I'm reliant on my VM's Will try again in a

The post install script tries to run "update-rc.d kvm multiuser" which doesn't seem to work anymore. Changing that line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/kvm.postinst to read "update-rc.d kvm defaults" fixes this. -- apt-get/aptitude fails to install KVM via recommended update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs
