I said to my self, ""no problem, I'll just log in on VT1 and fix it"". Except every time it tried to run c-l-c's postinst, it died, because ""initctl stop tty1"" kills my shell which is running it. I had to start up ssh, log in there, and run dpkg --configure -a. Admittedly, this is unlikely to happen in the wild, but it's still dumb." defect closed normal The Distant Future -- duplicate
