It was a considered response to the OP's paragraph above. He provided no
theory to his speculation; theories have to have some evidence-based
grounding. "AAAArrrrrgggghjhhh!!!" is about the best he could manage;
not even an error message, never mind a syslog extract.
There are a number of Debian bugs relating to his issue, all with a
similar lack of solid information. The Release Notes could prove useful.

Information was being elicted; no attempt at blame was made.
