Title:
  error during upgrade: cannot create /dev/shm: file exists

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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?
