[Bug 1326412] Re: can't do dist-upgrade

[Seth Arnold]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public

Bug description:
  the problem with /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-systemd:i386.prerm script failing to bring down the logind daemon with 'invoke-rc.d systemd-logind stop', because invoke-rd.d is only looking for the /etc/init.d/ script (doesn't exist) and not /etc/init/systemd-logind.conf (does exist).
