Bug#300806: (Seemingly) All programs fail to start, with the error message: relocation error: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

Ah, OK, I could see why this bug was produced - it's happenned when we
already installed the previous version of libc6-i686 2.3.4.ds1, and we
try to install new libc6 2.3.4.

The problem is /etc/ld.so.nohwcap handling.  It's created during
libc6.preinst is invoked, however it's just removed during
libc6.postinst.  So new ld-2.3.4 tries to load libc6.so 2.3.2.ds1.

IIRC, the old version of debian glibc handled with this situation
correctly, but the current script seems broken.  I'll try to fix it
and put -2 hopefully soon.

OK! That explains why it worked this time then.

I went ahead and just installed libc6 and then libc6-i686 once that worked...

Great to hear I wasn't hallucinating!

Thanks!
