I'll try but I have to read the contents of the output on my computer and type it by hand into my smartphone so there is bound to be typing errors. Here goes :

"Setting up cron (3.0pl1-128ubuntu2) ... 
"update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported ; failing back to defaults 
"update-rc.d: warning : stop runlevel arguments (1) do not match cron Default-Stop values (none) 
"initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

Etc. 
... 
"dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of procps:
 " procps depends on initscripts; however :
    "Package initscripts is not configured yet." 

Etc. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
