[Bug 1183682] Re: Upgrade i386 12.10 to 13.04 fails segfaulting in libc 2.17 breaking system

[Sasa Paporovic]

In apt-term log the dpkg problem is described in depth(dpkg  depends on
tar, but tar is not configured, this causes dpkg is not configured and
with this no further package could be installed):

Trigger für lintian werden verarbeitet ...
dpkg: Abhängigkeitsprobleme verhindern Konfiguration von dpkg:
 dpkg hängt ab von tar (>= 1.23); aber:
  Paket tar ist noch nicht konfiguriert.

dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von dpkg (--configure):

Title:
  Upgrade i386 12.10 to 13.04 fails segfaulting in libc 2.17 breaking
  system

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded using console do-release-upgrade on i386 (Intel Pentium 4 HT with 64bit support) from 12.10 to 13.04.
  After installing a couple of packets during upgrade including libc, all subproccesses startet to segfault in libc-2.17.so , so upgrade abortet though the system was in an unusable state.

   Booting into initramfs gives me a console but chroot /root bash fails
  with a double free error and chroot ... dpkg as well as other tools
  still fail with libc segfault.

  
  I could not find any information about raised hardware requirements but would have expected do-release-upgrade to check for them if applicable.
