[Bug 1303139] Re: Kernel panic when dpkg attempts to install libc6

[Daniel Ahlenius]

Sorry to wake you guys, but this bug came to me while upgrading from
13.10 to 14.04 now. I tried related WO and could continue the upgrade
after creating the softlink /root/bin/telinit -> /dev/true softlink.

Title:
   Kernel panic when dpkg attempts to install libc6

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

Bug description:
  This bug was first described in bug #1269405 , bug #1269483 , bug #1269500 , and bug #1269669.
  It affects users trying to install/upgrade libc6 using dpkg, and in my case occurred during an upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.

  bug #1271440 describes a similar problem, where the package is not
  libc6, but libselinux.

  A workaround for the issue is described in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1269731/comments/32
  . It involves temporarily redirecting calls to telinit to /bin/true.

  This is an umbrella ticket filed just to get the bug reopened. Please
