Sorry - submitted too soon.

Two part question:
a) anyone encounter this before / have a workaround or fix?
b) is there a way to find more verbose logs for apt-get?

@eyefodder:

I can't seem to reproduce that on a fresh 14.04 droplet. Are you using package repository: http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian

You could try running the post installation script directly to see what is happening: 


sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/jenkins.postinst configure 1.560

Maybe it's because of this, I'm having the same issue on an older ubuntu version

Maybe you have some other process listening to 8080 port. Try to stop it and try again

To get this fixed - install required jdk for jenkins, remove jenkins, remove java (if not needed)
