Bug Description
I've a bunch of these "virtual private servers" (actually from OpenVZ containers) from iv.lt. I've been upgrading them from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. Every time the upgrade hangs in libc6. First, it shows a warning in a nice colourful ncurses dialog
Kernel version not supported
This version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 3.2 or later. Older versions might work but are not officially supported.
Please consider upgrading your kernel.
then it prints
Checking for services that may need to be restarted...
Checking init scripts...
/var/
at the bottom without clearing the screen and hangs.
I can make the upgrade finish if I do
touch /etc/ld.so.nohwcap
rm /etc/ld.so.cache /var/cache/
pkill preinst
and then it apparently completes successfully.
