I've just dropped the postinst script that reload the init during the upgrade of libsepol.
It was also causing issues with systemd actually. And anyway nor upstart nor systemd was using any of it's symbols directly (libsepol is statically linked in libselinux) So this should be fixed in 2.3-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libsepol in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1331555 Title: Trusty's libsepol1 causes issues with Precise's Upstart during dist- upgrade Status in “libsepol” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “libsepol” source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in “libsepol” source package in Utopic: Confirmed Bug description: Trusty's libsepol1 (2.2-1) has no Upstart version check for the 'telinit u' call. During the dist-upgrade from Precise to Trusty this causes Upstart to loose its state. Because of this Upstart no longer knows which PIDs running services have and thus all service reloads fail. This bug is similarly to bug http://pad.lv/1313712 and the same fix applies. Faulty code: if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then # Restart init.
