[Bug 1347721] Re: Saucy -> Trusty upgrade failed: procps fails to configure

[Jim Fenton]

@Brian - I updated from 13.10. All I did to recover was wait for the
aborted upgrade to complete or recover, and rebooted my system, and it
claims to be running 14.04 now. The only thing that seemed potentially
funny was a message, "error: diskfilter writes are not supported" when I
booted it. Someone (I think in one of the duplicate bugs) mentioned that
rebooting was successful on both 32-bit and 64-bit processors.

@Adam - would love to test it but I no longer have a Saucy system to
test it on unless I need to restore from backup, which I'm hoping isn't
necessary.

Bug description:
  Test Case:
  1. Install Saucy + the task ubuntu-dekstop^
  2. Upgrade with do-release-upgrade

  Result:
  Upgrade fails with:
  Setting up libprocps3:i386 (1:3.3.9-1ubuntu2) ...
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of procps:
   procps depends on initscripts; however:
    Package initscripts is not configured yet.

  dpkg: error processing package procps (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

  == Original Description ==
  I'm just performing 14.04.1 pre-release testing and decided to try a Saucy -> Trusty upgrade even though Saucy recently reached EOL. I'd expected to be told no upgrade was available (or was impossible) early in the process if it were not possible at this point in time but the upgrade appeared to be in progress until the attached warning appeared (I'd guess about half-way into the upgrade process based on lapsed time) .

  No idea what will happen on reboot so I wanted to file this prior to
  reboot. I'll follow up later.
