apt-get upgrade broken && ls broken && many others broken
Greetings:
I run apt-get update&&apt-get upgrade frequently. Seems a recently
installed package is broken (I'm suspecting fileutils).
When I do an ls I get:
ls: reading directory .: Function not implemented
When I do an apt-get upgrade I get:
27 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not
upgraded. 3 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/26.2MB of archives. After unpacking 5009kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
dpkg: cannot scan updates directory `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/': Function
not implemented E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
Anyone have suggestions? Is there a known broken package? How do I fix
the problem?
The fine folks on #debian at irc.openprojects.net suggested a problem
between libc6 2.3.1-6 and a 2.2 kernel, though I've not yet found how
to fix it with apt-get broken.
I do not believe that I am running sid. I believe that it is the
testing release, though I am not certain how I can tell.
Thanks!
Chris
