This stuff may be inconsequential... Did dpkg abort here or was this just
stderr output you noticed?
No, this was stderr I noticed
Setting up klogd (1.5-5ubuntu4) ...

What does this machine's syslog say about klogd failing?
Read it through /var/lib/vz/root/1041/var/log/syslog or similar.
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory
And from: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=34305
I tried this fix:
#vzctl exec 1041 'dpkg --force-depends --purge udev'
#vzctl exec 1041 update-rc.d -f udev remove
#vzctl restart 1041
#vzctl enter 1041
enter into VE 1041 failed

You removed udev, which controls /dev entries (wrongly in a VE, I guess),
but once you get rid of it, we're still not sure if the static /dev entries
got back in place, esp. if it's not working.
The linked bug report indicates that vzctl enter needs /dev/ptyp0. Can you
list the contents of the /var/lib/vz/root/1041/dev directory and see if it's
there now? If not, run "vzctl exec 1041 /sbin/MAKEDEV ptyp" and see if that
creates it?
Josip,
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I think the amount of
thrashing (detective work) done so far to problem-solve this seems to
indicate that there is no clean LTS distribution upgrade for this VE.
I think I'll spare my cycles and instead migrate the data on the 8.04
VE's to 10.04 VE's. Thank you.
