@Clint With regards to the two other potential bugs in zookeeper:
1) /var/lib/zookeeper should belong to zookeeper A --no-create-home might help here (or I can make it quiet) - the permissions get set post user creation so they should be correct at runtime. 2) the upstart job should be reporting the failure, not 'start/running' I guess a pre-start check for 'java' might be a good idea - however I don't think its unreasonable to expect java to be configured prior to zookeeperd during installation so I'm not sold on the idea. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007433 Title: circular dependency causes zookeeperd to not be running after installation of zookeeperd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1007433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
