[Bug 1352244] [NEW] depmod failed on precise->trusty server upgrade

[Nick Moffitt]

Public bug reported:

A do-release-upgrade from precise to trusty on a MAAS cluster controller failed
as below.  Attempting to run depmod manually causes it to exit 254.  We have
not rebooted.

    Error in function:


    A fatal error occurred 

    Please report this as a bug and include the files 
    /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log in 
    your report. The upgrade has aborted. 
    Your original sources.list was saved in 
    /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade. 

    SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


    Could not install the upgrades

    The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A 
    recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). 

    Please report this bug in a browser at 
    http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+filebug 
    and attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to the bug report.
