Bug#204654: glibc 2.3.2-2 breaks apache on ia64
Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: serious
Setting up libc6.1 (2.3.2-2) ...
Checking for services that may need to be restarted...done.
Name Service Switch has changed in the C Library: post-installation question.
Running programs may not be able to do NSS lookups until they are
restarted (for services such as ssh, this can affect your ability to
login).
Note: restarting sshd/telnetd should not affect any existing connections.
The services detected are: inetd cron apache ssh exim
If other services begin to fail mysteriously after this upgrade,
it may be necessary to restart them too. We strongly recommend
you to reboot your machine to avoid the NSS related trouble.
Do you wish to Restart Services? [Y/n]
Restarting services possibly affected by the upgrade:
inetd: stopping...starting...done.
cron: stopping...starting...done.
apache: stopping...starting...FAILED! (1)
ssh: stopping...starting...done.
exim: stopping...starting...done.
The following services failed to start: apache
You will need to start these manually by running `/etc/init.d/<service> start'
If the service still fails to start, you may need to file a bug on
libc6.1 or the service involved.
Press ENTER to continue:
