Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sysv-rc
Host is a xen host - with a clean feisty image.
Logged into console, followed instructions for clean server image upgrade
apt-get install update-manager-core
do-release-upgrade
A whole chunk of packages won't complete their postinst because update-rc.d is
seg faulting
I can install other packages , and remove packages - but apt-get --configure -a
fails
all the time with this set of packages
Some of the packages fail because update-rc.d seg faults in the postinst, and
the rest
are failing because they have dependencies on the first set.
Examining the postinst for the packages that are failing , I pulled a full
command, and
running strace against it -- gives :
# strace /usr/sbin/update-rc.d module-init-tools start 15 S .
