It seems like the issue is the following:

There is a dependency loop
mountall->udev->procps->initscripts->mountall. When apt tries to deal
with it, it configures them all initially together, then it finds the
"libplymouth4" dependency of mountall that is not unpacked yet and
inserts the unpack at this point wich breaks the condition that all
packages in the loop need to be unpacked at the same time.

        Unpacking mountall:i386 to avoid loop initscripts:i386 Depends on mountall [ i386 ] < 2.53 -> 2.54build1 > ( admin ) (>= 2.28)

Title:
  Saucy -> Trusty upgrade failed: procps fails to configure

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Test Case:
  1. Install Saucy + the task ubuntu-dekstop^
  2. Upgrade with do-release-upgrade

  Result:
  Upgrade fails with:
  Setting up libprocps3:i386 (1:3.3.9-1ubuntu2) ...
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of procps:
   procps depends on initscripts; however:
    Package initscripts is not configured yet.

  dpkg: error processing package procps (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

  == Original Description ==
  I'm just performing 14.04.1 pre-release testing and decided to try a Saucy -> Trusty upgrade even though Saucy recently reached EOL. I'd expected to be told no upgrade was available (or was impossible) early in the process if it were not possible at this point in time but the upgrade appeared to be in progress until the attached warning appeared (I'd guess about half-way into the upgrade process based on lapsed time) .

  No idea what will happen on reboot so I wanted to file this prior to
  reboot. I'll follow up later.
