Comment 7 for bug 1120660

 Me too am affected by this bug. after the last raring upgrade, the process is terminated with the message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

After running the command offered, I came across the bug 'kernel panics' see the attached picture.

The 'sudo telinit u' causes the same error panic.

No way to make another upgrade !
Y is there a way to delete the current dpkg?
