Please find the files attached. What you see there is that I tried two
things:

1. I tried to manually set upstart from half-configured to installed
manually by editing the status file to avoid any trouble when new
updates roll in. This didn't work and I reverted it.

2. I tried to downgrade to the last working version and this froze as
well

Regs,

Title:
  Update to 1.8-0ubuntu1.2 in raring causes system hang at configure

Status in Upstart:
  Invalid
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  the recent upgrade to upstart 1.9.1 seems to have introduced a bug
  that causes a hang during the package configuration phase. The package
  has been extracted by the system updater and once configuration starts
  the systems freezes completely (mouse pointer disappears, no remote
  login possible, system does not seem to respond in any way).

  Dpkg is now in a state where I am demanded to execute 'dpkg
  --configure -a', however since this freezes the system immediately
  again, I have no idea how or where to analyze the problem or how to
  proceed.
