** Description changed: I upgraded a VPS from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS. During the upgrade the libc6 preinst script showed this error: - Checking for services that may need to be restarted... - Checking init scripts... - /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 355: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: runlevel: not found + Checking for services that may need to be restarted... + Checking init scripts... + /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 355: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: runlevel: not found - Then the upgrade process hung for, I think, unrelated reasons. + Then the upgrade process deadlocked for, I think, unrelated reasons (I + filed bug 1624837 about that). /sbin/runlevel is part of the 'upstart' package in 14.04, but it was moved to systemd-sysv in 16.05. At this point in the upgrade upstart already upgraded to the xenial version, but systemd-sysv wasn't yet installed. - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader (not installed) ProcEnviron: - LC_CTYPE=lt_LT.UTF-8 - TERM=xterm-256color - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=lt_LT.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LC_CTYPE=lt_LT.UTF-8 + TERM=xterm-256color + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=lt_LT.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash Tags: xenial dist-upgrade Uname: Linux 2.6.32-042stab116.2 x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-09-18 (0 days ago) UserGroups: - + _MarkForUpload: True
