Public bug reported:
When updating my Xubuntu 16.04.2 system today the upgrade from libepoxy0
1.3.1-1 to libepoxy0 1.3.1-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 caused my system to hang
right before the login screen.
Unfortunately since this was a complete system lock up I can't provide
any logs as I had to restore the entire root partition from backup.
Since I can't get system recovery mode to work (it's been broken for a
few years and times out within two minutes) it doesn't give me enough
time gather any logs before it exits. I understand the system recovery
problem is known, but I've tried all the solutions I could over the
years, on multiple systems, and just can't get it to work without timing
out anymore.
In any case I verified the problem was libepoxy0 by applying all the
available updates except libexpoxy0 and rebooting without any problems.
I then allowed the upgrade of libepoxy0, libepoxy0:i386, and libeepoxy-
dev and the system hung at boot as previously described. I went through
the same procedure twice to confirm.
I'm running kernel 4.9.31-040931-lowlatency with AMDGPU-PRO 16.50
patched drivers, with all system updates. If you need more information
please contact me and I'll get you anything I can. But as I said, since
the system locks up I'm not sure what else I can garner.
