Bug Description

upstart 0.2.1-7 is installed.

When the system boots it waits until I press return several times. (Well I waited about 10 minutes at the prompt.)
I took some notes:

<Some boot messages>
init: tty6 state changed from waiting to starting
init: tty6 state changed from starting to running
init: process_spawn: Spawned process <SOME_PID> for tty6
init: active tty6 process (<PID>)
*Reading files need to boot... [OK]
<some garbled characters> ne) login:
[25;4R
<here I have to press enter>
LOGIN INCORRECT
<HOSTNAME> LOGIN
<I press enter>
<more boot messages>
* Setting up general console font... [OK]
<If I press enter I get another LOGIN INCORRECT and gdm starts. When I wait a bit, it goes on without any input.>
LOGIN INCORRECT
<HOSTNAME> LOGIN
LOGIN TIMED OUT AFTER 60 SECONDS
INIT: TTY1 PROCESS (<PID>) EXITED NORMALLY
INIT: TTY1 PROCESS ENDED, RESPAWNING
INIT: TTY1 STATE CHANGED FROM RUNNING TO RESPAWNING
INIT: TTY1 STATE CHANGED FROM RESPAWNING TO RUNNING
INIT: PROCESS_SPAWN: SPAWNED PROCESS <PID> FOR TTY1
INIT: ACTIVE TTY1 PROCESS (<PID>)
<Now the normal login prompt appears. I need to press enter for it to continue and start gdm.>

This is an old version of this configuration file.

Do you have the system-services package installed?

My apologies. I updated only upstart(-compat-sysv) and not ubuntu-minimal. Installing system-services fixed the problem. Thank you.
