[Bug 1270132] [NEW] update from Saucy to Trusty (devel between A1 and A2) crashed out with "too many open files"

[Andy Whitcroft]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading from Saucy to Trusty (to development on 17-jan-2013,
somewhere between Alpha 1 and Alpha2), the dpkg phase imploded with post
install throwing errors regarding "Too many open files":

  2014-01-17 11:33:40,433 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'libnss-mdns': 'failed to open trigger interest list file 
    `/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/ldconfig': Too many open files'

update-manager then went on to run an emergency configure which did
complete the install, though it did not offer to purge nor reboot (which
is probabally a good thing).
