Title:
  Upgrade i386 12.10 to 13.04 fails segfaulting in libc 2.17 breaking
  system - dpkg affected

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I upgraded using console do-release-upgrade on i386 (Intel Pentium 4 HT with 64bit support) from 12.10 to 13.04.
  After installing a couple of packets during upgrade including libc, all subproccesses startet to segfault in libc-2.17.so , so upgrade abortet though the system was in an unusable state.

   Booting into initramfs gives me a console but chroot /root bash fails
  with a double free error and chroot ... dpkg as well as other tools
  still fail with libc segfault.

  
  I could not find any information about raised hardware requirements but would have expected do-release-upgrade to check for them if applicable.
