Bug Description
When upgrading from Saucy to Trusty (to development on 17-jan-2013, somewhere between Alpha 1 and Alpha2), the dpkg phase imploded with post install throwing errors regarding "Too many open files":
2014-01-17 11:33:40,433 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'libnss-mdns': 'failed to open trigger interest list file
`/var/
update-manager then went on to run an emergency configure which did complete the install, though it did not offer to purge nor reboot (which is probabally a good thing).
