Let me start with that I'm no expert on the installation system, but here's what I've learnt so far:
$dpkg -S tty1 system-services: /etc/event.d/tty1 $dpkg -L system-services [..] /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl [..] $cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/system-services.postinst {confirms that /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl does the work} That means to my mind that the error is very likely happening within migrate-inittab.pl (Of course it may well be that this was obvious to all involved.) I'll do some Perl RTFM-ing and see what I learn. -- Upgrade to feisty causes loss of TTYs due to incorrect file mangling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104038 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
