[Bug 1120660] Re: Kernel Panic when running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' ?

[Aurel Branzeanu]

My system, 64-bit Trusty, also got this bug when running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. 
Alas, there are no log entries for this panic.
Please, take a look at the attachments and initctl list output below:

Title:
  Kernel Panic when running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'  ?

Status in Upstart:
  Fix Released
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Recently, I am seeing a few kernel panics. [ Assertion failed in
  log_serialise ]

  The latest one happens when asked to run E: dpkg was interrupted, you
  must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

  I've also seen them when trying to change compiz settings.

  They seem to have started a couple of days ago in the middle of an
  upgrade, I guess during some Xorg and/or nvidia related upgrades.

  However, it happens now each and every time when running 'sudo dpkg
  --configure -a'.
