Bug#221360: upgrade of libc6_2.3.2.ds1-10 hosed libc install
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: normal
Hello,
I'm sending this bug report from my server, 'cause on my firewall
I can not install reportbug, because of the hosed libc install.
I just tried to do a apt-get dist-upgrade to the latest Sarge, and
somehow the libc went wrong (i don't have the exact details where things
went wrong). However i'm now left with:
root@kasteel# dpkg --install /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-10_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 14199 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.2-9 (using .../libc6_2.3.2.ds1-10_i386.deb) ...
These libraries were found in /usr/lib:
libc.so.6
libdl.so.2
libm.so.6
libpthread.so.0
librt.so.1
A copy of glibc was found in an unexpected directory.
It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
please remove that copy of the C library and try again.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-10_i386.deb (--install):
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-10_i386.deb
And I have no glue what to do next. I've copied the /lib/tls directory over from
my server, but I'm hesitating to delete the libraries in question.
grtz Miek
