Do you remember what you did to make it go away ?
I don't want to reboot the box as long as I don't know that it will come up
again, since it is also the endpoint of my leased line. (Yeah I know
running unstable on such a box is stupid, but well :-)
THis morning I simply put the broken libc6.1 on hold and tried an update again.
Before the update of the libc6.1 would fail with segfaults.
Here first the update of ldso fails with an Illegal instruction, then
installs correctly as it seems.
