Bug Description

On focal with -proposed repo enabled. Updated all packages and rebooted. Upon entering the LUKS passphrase for disk decryption I get the following message, and cannot boot:

  "libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work"

Booting with the previous kernel works.

Found this question with an identical issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1190687/ubuntu-19-10-missing-lib-gcc-so-1-after-kernel-update, which points to "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot" being unable to find that lib. It was looking in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/", but libgcc_s.so.1 is not there, but at "/usr/lib/" and "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/". Temporarily fixed by copying the file to "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" and regenerating the initramdisk.

You have identified a bug, but this is not a supported end user configuration. I believe the fix for this issue is already in progress, if not already resolved in -proposed.

devel-proposed series contains knowngly incompatible and broken packages =) why are you using something that automatic CI is telling us is broken?
As soon as CI passes packages migrate to devel (release) pocket and are then usable for human consumption.
