I suspect you are using a kernel without tmpfs support.  This will
break the system in subtle ways.  The oldest and most obvious way is
probably that POSIX shared memory functions will fail as /dev/shm/ is
not a tmpfs, and a recent addition is the /lib/init/rw/ mount point
just introduced to make sure the early boot system have a writable
area to store state information when the coldplug hardware events
arrive before the root file system is checked and mounted read-write.

I am a bit confused, though, because in version 2.86.ds1-30 a test to
check if tmpfs was supposed was added to the postinst (grep -E -qs
"tmpfs\$" /proc/filesystems), and I expected this to avoid the upgrade
problem.  Can you tell me the output from that command on your system?

Friendly,
