Hello all,

am attempting to create a vserver guest, using Ubuntu Precise, but receiving a lot of
errors surrounding upstart:

 * Stopping domain name service... bind9                                           
                                                                        waiting for

                                                                 [fail]

I have followed the guide http://linux-vserver.org/Upstart_issues but that did not seem
to resolve the issues; well it got rid of the error messages but then the bind9 service
would not start.  I installed vserver from the repo psand and this is the current list
of packages:

ii  libvserver0                       0.30.216-pre3038-1                dynamic libraries
for util-vserver
ii  linux-headers-vserver-3.2-beng    3.2.42-2.3.2.16+precise1          A metapackage
which installs the latest Linux-Vserver patched 3.2 linux-headers pa
ii  linux-image-vserver-3.2-beng      3.2.42-2.3.2.16+precise1          A metapackage
which installs the latest Linux-Vserver patched 3.2 linux-image pack
ii  util-vserver                      0.30.216-pre3038-1                utilities for
managing Linux-VServer guests
ii  util-vserver-build                0.30.216-pre3038-1                tools which
can be used to build vservers
ii  util-vserver-core                 0.30.216-pre3038-1                core utilities
of util-vserver
ri  util-vserver-sysv                 0.30.216-pre3038-1                initscripts
for util-vserver


Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you.
