This is my ubuntu+1 chroot, upgraded from release to release for the
past 7 years or so.

Yes, it appears that /run/shm has gone missing. That would explain
everything.

As a matter of curiosity, which ones of /run/shm or /dev/shm is the
current default standard? I'm wondering whether there might have been
changes of strategy upstream, as to which one of those two is expected
to exist, that could have left me with a dangling symbolic link.

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

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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?
