[Bug 1430479] Re: switching init systems together with a libc upgrade kills X and disrupts the upgrade

 

- Reconfiguring glibc on that system does run telinit u, but doesn't
hang.

 - I tested/fixed upgrades from trusty and utopic in schroot a few weeks
ago, but libc doesn't do the telinit u thing in chroots, so I missed
that.

 - I can reproduce that upgrading utopic to vivid in a VM ends up with
running systemd. That's clearly not intended.

Title:
  switching init systems together with a libc upgrade kills X and
  disrupts the upgrade

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I've today had two machines kill my X session during dist-upgrade, and
  it happened during libc6 postinst. Dmesg shows that systemd got
  somehow started during the earlier phase of the upgrade. X logs show a
  failure with "(EE) Cannot establish any listening sockets" etc..

  Adam can fill in the more detailed analysis of what's happening
  there.. but I think it should be fairly easy to reproduce by
  installing vivid from an earlier image and dist-upgrading to current,
  if needed.
