[Bug 1360432] [NEW] upstart crashed with SIGABRT in __libc_message()

 

Public bug reported:

I booted with systemd and got a bunch of updates. Went to reboot to
finalize the update as kernel 3.16.0-10-generic was added. The system
would not compete the reboot and failed to shutdown. I had to press the
reset button and booted back in with systemd. Not sure why upstart was
involved as I used systemd.
