[Bug 1336267] Re: The do-release-upgrade can not complete upgrade to Trusty from Saucy because dpkg says "too many errors, stopping", and OS are broken in the half-finished states.

[Fumihito YOSHIDA]

I suggest to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' solve current problem(half-configured state) for testing, plase check. 
And, we have to determine the root cause. I want to get your more helpful works.

First, I have the misfortune to tell you that  "too many errors,
stopping" is wrapped messages, this log covered something another error
messages, lack of leads to address the problem. So, we must investigate
the problem.

I check with your typescript (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/ubuntu-release-
upgrader/+bug/1336267/+attachment/4143067/+files/typescript.txt), I
found something odd.

| Errors were encountered while processing:
|  procps
|  udev
|  initramfs-tools
| Error in function: 

I found similar problem in pre-Trusty phase bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-
upgrader/+bug/1286161), however, this problem solved at
0.9.9.1~ubuntu3.1, but Mitsutoshi's 'dpkg --list' says
saucy::0.9.9.1~ubuntu3.2, fixed+1 version.

-------------------------------------------------------------
 * typescript have initramfs-tools -> udev -> procps -> initscripts chain, and dpkg -l said initscripts="iU" after upgrading.
 * Though, "Setting up initscripts" messages not found, but Preparing to replace initscripts 2.88dsf-41ubuntu3 exsits.

Mitsutoshi, could you please test with downgrade to 0.9.9.1~ubuntu3.1
before upgrade?(If you can easily do).

And, please tell us about your environment for repro, is it clean-
installed?
