Bug description:
  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).
