[Bug 1303139] Re: Kernel panic when dpkg attempts to install libc6

[David Oftedal]

Steve Langasek (vorlon) is now saying that the bug was in fact
introduced after version 13.10, which raises some questions as to why
this bug is triggered during upgrades to 14.04.

There is, therefore, a certain probability that users will be affected
by this when upgrading to 14.04.
