I'm trying to install the git-daemon-run package, which has a dependency on the runit package. But the runit package doesn't upgrade properly.
When I run apt-get upgrade to upgrade the runit package, the following error occurs:
Setting up runit (2.1.1-6.2ubuntu3) ... start: Unknown job: runsvdir dpkg: error processing package runit (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
I checked the Ubuntu bug database and I found Bug #406621 on launchpad. Per the solution there I should fix the location of runsvdir.conf changing it from the old event.d that upstart used to use to /etc/init that upstart now uses. But in (my) Ubuntu 14.04 there is no event.d in the first place let alone a runsvdir.conf there.
I've tried installing or reconfiguring this package, rather than upgrading, but the same error occurred. It's notable that during the git package installation, this error was occurred for the first time.
