[Bug 1058517] Re: upgrade of dbus causes unclean unmount of /

[Scott Moser]

I just did the following on a fresh instance:
 $ { echo dbus hold; echo libdbus-1-3 hold ; } | sudo dpkg --set-selections
 $ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get upgrade --assume-yes --quiet 2>&1 | tee upgrade.log
 $ sudo reboot

There is no fsck or unclean mount on reboot.
So this would seem to fall squarely on dbus.

Interestingly, I followed the above with:
 $ { echo dbus install; echo libdbus-1-3 install ; } | sudo dpkg --set-selections
 $ sudo apt-get upgrade # pulling in the 2 dbus packages
 $ sudo apt-get remove dbus
 $ sudo reboot

and still saw the unclean mount.

Title:
  upgrade of dbus causes unclean unmount of /

Status in APT:
  Invalid
Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running on Amazon Web Services AMI ami-057bcf6c (which is the official
  release from Ubuntu Availalbe at http://uec-
  images.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/release-20120822/ )

  upon first start run

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade

  it will tell you a restart is required when you next log in via ssh

  restart the server

  try to ssh in again and your keyfile will not work anymore

  This is a major problem for AWS users as we can't access a console and
  there is no way to reset the keyfile and thus you are locked out of
  your server for ever.  I've reproduced this once on a separate
  instance.
