[Launchpad Bug Tracker <966451@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Pasi Lallinaho (knome):

During the installation, the following message is shown:

"Configuring libc6
xscreensaver and xlockmore must be restarted before upgrading
One or more running instances of xscreensaver or xlockmore have been detected on this system. Because of incompatible library changes, the upgrade of the GNU libc library will leave you unable to authenticate to these programs. You should arrange for these programs to be restarted or stopped before continuing this upgrade, to avoid locking your users out of their current sessions."

If you close the window by clicking the close button, the installation
is broken. However if you click "Continue", the installation proceeds
normally.

Affected upgrades include:
– Lubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 (i386)
– Lubuntu 12.10 to 13.04 (i386 and amd64)
– Can be confirmed on Xubuntu upgrades as well

Preferred solution:
The installer should be able to stop xscreensaver and xlockmore automatically.
