[Bug 1290761] [NEW] Debconf prompt "Configuring libc6" when upgrading from 13.10 to Trusty

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Public bug reported:

1. Install Ubuntu 13.10.
2. At a terminal, enter "update-manager -cd" to trigger an upgrade to Trusty.
3. At the prompt, choose "Upgrade", and follow the steps.

What happens: A "Debconf" prompt appears with the header "Configuring
libc6", listing "Services to restart for GNU libc library upgrade", and
containing only a "Forward" button.

What should happen: No Debconf prompt ever appears during an Ubuntu
upgrade.

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
