[Bug 1389891] [NEW] error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists

 

Public bug reported:

Setting up initscripts (2.88dsf-53.2ubuntu1) ...
mkdir: cannot create directory '/dev/shm': File exists
dpkg: error processing package initscripts (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Perhaps missing the -p option to exit without error if the directory
already exists?
