[Pavel Petrovic <1325142@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

very bad experience. ubuntu server 14.04 64bit, trying to fresh install
on some older DELL machine (poweredge 1950) with software raid with
separate /boot, swap and /tmp. everything seems to run ok, and after
reboot, grub works ok (except that one has to make fast boot = 0,
otherwise error message, but that is another bug with that save
environment thing not working on raid in grub anyway), but when actually
booting the system, after swap is turned on in second 13 or so, booting
stops, and the machine freezes before the consoles are open, machine not
reachable on the network.

ok, rebooting from CD to rescue, but the network configuration is
totally broken due to some misconfiguration of /etc/resolv.conf
(pointing to ../run/resolvconf/whatever), needing to replace it manually
with resolv.conf that is present while the live CD downloads the apt
packages...

but still system doesn't boot, so finally finding this page, and
manually editing the prerm and post scripts of this terrible libpam-
systemd package, getting the apt-get go through the install, and only
then getting the booting working.

hell with this ubuntu and my lost night! sorry, I am not going to
produce any log files after the machine has been finally installed. no
logfiles were produced anyway, the /target/var/log was just empty files.

Title:
  failure to update libpam-systemd in 14.04 due to missing logind init
  script

Bug description:
  Hi,

  while running inside an i386 lubuntu 14.04 chroot, upgrading libpam-
  systemd to version 204-5ubuntu20.2 fails leaving dpkg in a broken
  state. 'apt-get -f install' from within the chroot will not fix it,
  but if the build is made bootable and put into a iso/VM you can
  recover that way in a live session.

  the problem seems to be the /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-systemd:i386.prerm script failing to bring down the logind daemon with 'invoke-rc.d systemd-logind stop', because invoke-rd.d is only looking for the /etc/init.d/ script (doesn't exist) and not /etc/init/systemd-logind.conf (does exist).

  In a web-search I notice a few others running into the same bug,

  someone else's build log:
  https://launchpad.net/~qutim/+archive/qutim/+build/6039800

  launchpad bug #1323575 seems to be a duplicate of this one.

  
  perhaps related to older launchpad bug #1305395 ?

  note we are also suffering from a failure with update-initramfs, not sure of the root cause of that one but I thought I'd mention it in case they were related, since they both started happening about the same time, a couple weeks ago. (launchpad bug #1317602)
  It all worked ok after the inital releases of 14.04, so something to do with a package update since then.

  
  thanks,
  Hamish
