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

[David Oftedal]

Then I'm marking the bugs as duplicates of this one again, as none of
the libc6 bugs should be marked as duplicates of bug #1269731.

Title:
   Kernel panic when dpkg attempts to install libc6

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug was first described in bug #1269405 , bug #1269483 , bug #1269500 , and bug #1269669.
  It affects users trying to install/upgrade libc6 using dpkg, and in my case occurred during an upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.

  bug #1271440 describes a similar problem, where the package is not
  libc6, but libselinux.

  A workaround for the issue is described in bug #1269731. A fake
  telinit binary linking to /bin/true can be temporarily added to the
  beginning of $PATH, so that it's run instead of the real telinit in
  that console session.

  This is an umbrella ticket filed just to get the bug reopened. Please
  see the other tickets for details, attachments, screenshots etc.
