Bug Description

After a upgrade of some packages the configure process of libc6 version 2.18 generates a kernel panic.
When I try reconfigure again the packages broken (sudo dpkg --configure -a) I get the same kernel panic.

I must poweroff my computer from the button. That means that I not have a full core dump..
But I found a similar kernel panic that says:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x....

This started happening on my system when I tried to upgrade to 14.04.

Installing libc6, either amd64 or i386, it would appear, and either via do-release-upgrade or dpkg directly, will cause the kernel panic.

"not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"
