Title:
update of mount hanged, making system unbootable
Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: mount
I just updated packages in a 10.10 installation. There was a new mount
package, which installation hanged. After some minutes I retried and
the same happened. I rebooted the machine.
The system went to recovery mode, only root fs mounted and I was able
to see that there was empty file /bin/mount and the mount command was
in file /bin/mount.dpkg-tmp but it's permissions were none. So, I am
not able to run even that because nothing can be changed in ro file
system - and there is no mount command to change that.
Sorry to report this in bit hurry and without too much details, but my
computer is - unbootable - and if this problem is common, there will
be many others tomorrow.
