package procps 1:3.3.9-1ubuntu5.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Looks like an issue with part of the teamviewerd (which isn't part of the Ubuntu archive) package:

update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
insserv: warning: script 'K07smfpd' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script 'smfpd' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop at service teamviewerd if started
insserv: There is a loop between service teamviewerd and procps if started
insserv: loop involving service procps at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service udev at depth 1
insserv: There is a loop between service smfpd and teamviewerd if started
insserv: loop involving service teamviewerd at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service smfpd at depth 1
insserv: loop involving service rsyslog at depth 1
insserv: There is a loop between service smfpd and hwclock if started
insserv: loop involving service hwclock at depth 1
insserv: Starting smfpd depends on teamviewerd and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!

THanks a lot for your time, stupid of me!

However I removed teamviewer alltogether and the "packages failed to
install" message keeps occuring, not sure what to do.

Please add /var/log/apt/term.log so someone can look at the error messages.

I've attached it, hope it helps

please find var/log/apt/term.log attached

It now looks like there is an issue with the package that provides the smfpd service:

insserv: Starting smfpd depends on ondemand and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!

Okay, so how do I proceed?
