Clint, seems you are doing an excellent job and I am confident it gets fixed finally!
Your proposal works, however only if I modify /etc/init.d/umountroot this way: [ -f /var/run/init.upgraded ] && telinit u && sleep 1 || : it does *not* work, if I place the sleep in a separate line like this: [ -f /var/run/init.upgraded ] && telinit u || : sleep 1 Are you sure that at the end of the line a ":" (colon) is correct, or should it be a ";" (semicolon)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/672177 Title: libc6 upgrade causes umount to fail on shutdown because init cannot be restarted -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
