Title:
  Trusty's libsepol1 causes issues with Precise's Upstart during dist-
  upgrade

Status in “libsepol” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “libsepol” source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed
Status in “libsepol” source package in Utopic:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Trusty's libsepol1 (2.2-1) has no Upstart version check for the
  'telinit u' call. During the dist-upgrade from Precise to Trusty this
  causes Upstart to loose its state. Because of this Upstart no longer
  knows which PIDs running services have and thus all service reloads
  fail.

  This bug is similarly to bug http://pad.lv/1313712 and the same fix
  applies.

  Faulty code:
  if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
   # Restart init. If it fails, there is nothing we can do, so
   # just ignore the error (NOTE: Borrowed from libc6.postinst)
   telinit u 2>/dev/null || true ; sleep 1
  fi

  Correct code:
  if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
   # Restart init. If it fails, there is nothing we can do, so
   # just ignore the error (NOTE: Borrowed from libc6.postinst)
   if dpkg --compare-versions "$UPSTART_VERSION_RUNNING" ge 1.6.1; then
    telinit u 2>/dev/null || true ; sleep 1
   fi
  fi
