[Bug 1452238] Re: Failed to upgrade system from 14.04

[Stéphane Graber]

Hello Bin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted sysvinit into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/2.88dsf-
41ubuntu6.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

  Workaround when the 14.04 upgrade fails and you can't do more upgrades
  or installs anymore:

  1. Launch Terminal from Dash
  2. Type 'sudo apt-get install -f' and press enter. When prompted (offers updating eg libc-dev-bin, libc6-dbg, libc6-dev and udev), press enter again.
  3. Launch Software Updater again from Dash and let it install the rest of the updates.
