[Bug 1269774] Re: Freeze at "setting up libc6:i386 (2.18.0ubuntu6)...."

[CarcaBot]

I have also the same problem,

It's freezing when i've tried to update from 13.10 to 14.04.

The freeze is when trying to configure libc6. I've tried several times,
and no fix.

Title:
  Freeze at "setting up libc6:i386 (2.18.0ubuntu6)...."

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Trusty installation

  output:
  *************
  Extracting templates from packages: 100%
  Preconfiguring packages ...
  Setting up gcc-4.8-base:i386 (4.8.2-14ubuntu1) ...
  Selecting previously unselected package libc6:i386

  dpkg: warning: files list file forpackage 'libhttp-date-perllibc6'

  Unpacking libc6:i386 (from .../libc6 2.18-Oubuntu6_i386.deb) ...
  Setting up libc6:i386 (2.18-0ubuntu6) ...
  *************

  Then the whole system is frozen: lost mouse, keyboard, menus, ....

  After a new cold boot, dpkg warn to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" , but it freeze again the system.
  I'm able to unlock the situation by purging the borked entries into /var/lib/dpkg/status & available & /updates/.
  All i get is a bunch of broken packages that fail again to reinstall when libc6 is called by the upgrading processes.

  Googling around that "libhttp-date-perllibc6" package does not help,
  as it seems a very new issue.
