Of course, after I said this is an apt (or python-apt, if people are
seeing it in update-manager too) bug, which is true, it can work harder
to do better loop breaking and batching, this could maybe be worked
around by fudging the dependencies of initscripts a bit, perhaps
removing the upstart and mountall deps (the latter might have to become
a versioned break).

Working around this with initscripts would require some care to make
sure upgrades work from 14.04 to 14.04.(current), as well as 12.04 to
14.04.(current) as well.

Title:

Bug description:
  Workaround when the 14.04 upgrade fails and you can't do more upgrades
  or installs anymore:

  1. Launch Terminal from Dash
  2. Type 'sudo apt-get install -f' and press enter. When prompted (offers updating eg libc-dev-bin, libc6-dbg, libc6-dev and udev), press enter again.
  3. Launch Software Updater again from Dash and let it install the rest of the updates.
