Bug Description

I have Xubuntu 12.04-testing installed on my external drive.

It gets updated in a chroot environment from my main drive under Debian testing.

All packages seem to work fine except for cups, blues-cups and anyother cups related package. They all throw a dpkg code 1 error.

I assume this is some kind of problem with the install script.

The same packages from Debian testing and Sid repos install fine in a chroot environment.

I should add that this is not a huge problem.

Running "dpkg --configure -a" when booted into Xubuntu takes instant care of it.

It was marked a duplicate in error. Bug #933973 is unrelated to this one.

However, it's also not a bug. Packages that provide services expect to
enable them at install time; in the case of cups and bluez, they do this
using upstart jobs. If you're running Ubuntu in a chroot on Debian, you
don't have upstart running to make this possible.

If you want to avoid packages trying to start services on upgrade inside a
chroot (which is generally advisable anyway), you should configure
/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d to tell invoke-rc.d not to try to start them.
