Title:
  dselect update system crash no boot

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dselect

  I am in the middle of my fourth repair job on a Karmic system.

  In this instance I did a system upgrade through deselect after DL'ing all the new packages, the install process started, somwhere in the middle of that my system crashed and now will not boot. 
  I am getting a collection of udev errors - sorry I can't be more specific trying to extract data from the boot screen on a system that will not boot is not fun.

  I have tried most of my tricks to get the system booted so that I can
  resume the crashed upgrade which is probably at the root of the
  problem.

  Regardless my real complaint is that issues like this have been fairly
  common with Karmic. I have run debian/testing and ubuntu/testing
  systems for years. I have never had so many problems that resulted in
  unbootable systems as I have had with Karmic.
