One of these upgrades yesterday resulted in an unbootable system:

2015-01-19 20:32:45 upgrade libc-dev-bin:amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.4 2.19-0ubuntu6.5
2015-01-19 20:32:47 upgrade libc6-dev:amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.4 2.19-0ubuntu6.5
2015-01-19 20:32:48 upgrade libc6-dbg:amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.4 2.19-0ubuntu6.5
2015-01-19 20:32:50 upgrade libc-bin:amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.4 2.19-0ubuntu6.5
2015-01-19 20:32:53 upgrade libc6:i386 2.19-0ubuntu6.4 2.19-0ubuntu6.5
2015-01-19 20:32:56 upgrade libc6:amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.4 2.19-0ubuntu6.5
2015-01-19 20:33:05 upgrade libclutter-gtk-1.0-0:amd64 1.4.4-3ubuntu2 1.4.4-3ubuntu2.2
2015-01-19 20:33:06 upgrade libssh-4:amd64 0.6.1-0ubuntu3 0.6.1-0ubuntu3.1
2015-01-19 20:33:07 upgrade multiarch-support:amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.4 2.19-0ubuntu6.5
2015-01-19 20:33:10 upgrade libcgmanager0:i386 0.24-0ubuntu7.1 0.24-0ubuntu7.2
2015-01-19 20:33:11 upgrade libcgmanager0:amd64 0.24-0ubuntu7.1 0.24-0ubuntu7.2
2015-01-19 20:33:12 upgrade linux-firmware:all 1.127.10 1.127.11

I'm unable to debug this any further because the desktop system is in
another part of the country. I got the error report by a phone call by a
non-technical non-English-speaking user, on whos machine I installed
Kubuntu. After a while I got him to boot into the recovery prompt and
enable me SSH access so I could downgrade these packages. After
downgrading the system restarted well and came up.

The user reported that the boot process was stuck at a "Starting
configuring network connections" prompt or something. I'm not entirely
sure, but I might have heard him muttering something about some cgroup
messages.

Anyway I still have SSH access, but I can't do on-site debugging until
February 7 or restart via SSH and risk having to contact the user to
recover from a broken boot.
