Public bug reported:
A few hours ago I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy Alpha 6. Everything went
fine, including reboots, until I applied a bunch of updates roughly have
an hour ago. One of them failed during the post-processing step (can't
remember its name unfortunately). Ever since that update the system
hangs during startup when it is trying to start the system log daemon.
After a timeout (of about 4 minutes) the system continues to boot and
tries to bring up the display server. The display server then crashes
repeatetly until a warning message appears that the display server has
been shut down more than 6 times in 90 seconds. Switching to a terminal
and logging in results in the following:
malloc: ../bash/subst.c:3472: assertion botched
free: called with unallocated block argument
Aborting...
After which I am presented with the login prompt again. Booting with the
old Gutsy kernel does not help, neither does starting in recovery mode.
It is hard to give more specific error information since I cannot even
log in.
