I'd be very surprised if this report is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1397065 -- it just looks like the same symptoms but not cause. (/etc/services isn't mentioned in the other report, and no upstart service dependency loop is reported here.)
Check dmesg output; there may be additional information there. Try lsattr /etc/services -- the file may have been set immutable. Try to move /etc/services out of the way by hand. Not much should care about the contents, so there's no real risk to trying to move a new services file in by hand. If you get errors, try moving other files in /etc/. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1375836 Title: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS - apt-get broken after upgrade - Package netbase is not configured yet.
