I encountered this issue while upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04.1 on 64-bit machine. Apparently the upgrade scripts messed up the /var/run and /run, making each symlink to the other. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Sep 7 13:57 /var/run -> /run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 5 18:13 /run -> /var/run
The workaround in Comment #9 worked fine and allowed me to boot Precise. However this is a difficult to debug bug and it should likely be marked as 'High' importance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908614 Title: /run: Too many levels of symbolic links To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian-base-files/+bug/908614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
