    Hi,

    While running `sudo apt upgrade`, the process hangs while installing libc6:amd64. The last line output is "Setting up libc6:amd64 (2.37-13) ...".

    The dpkg logs show "status half-configured libc6:amd64 2.37-13".

    I left this process running overnight to no avail. This prevents me from being able to update my system.

    Here is a Stack Overflow post regarding this issue: debian - Apt stucked in setting up libc6 - Stack Overflow<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77781232/apt-stucked-in-setting-up-libc6>

    I am using Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid, kernel 5.15.133.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 on Windows 11 x86_64.

    We also got another report that telinit got stuck, it wasn't the case
    before, I guess something has changed on the WSL side. Someone with
    knowledge about that system should debug the issue and provide a patch. Therefore tagging the bug with help.

    This was a systemd bug fixed in version 255.4-1. Reassigning the bug there.

    Regards
    Aurelien
