Re: libc6 upgrade error



Thanks for the response.  Here's what I found.

As I did the same thing, you probably added the directory /usr/lib32
to  /etc/ld.so.conf file, to be able to run your 32bit programs

Actually /usr/lib32 is a link:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 Dec  9 13:26 /usr/lib32 -> /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib

Created today, about the time of the upgrade.

drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 8192 Dec  9 13:26 /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib

Also created today -- at the same time.

I would suggest temporarely removing all reference to /usr/lib32
from /etc/ld.so.conf, run ldconfig, and retry this install.

Contents of ld.so.conf -- which I did not modify myself.

/usr/X11R6/lib
/emul/ia32-linux/lib
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib

I have never wanted to run 32bit apps on this system.

So -- I rm /usr/lib32, then

tempo3:/etc/dhcp3# apt-get upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc6-i386: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-19.0.0.1.gcc4) but 2.3.2.ds1-18.0.0.1.amd64 is installed
  locales: Depends: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-19
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

tempo3:/etc/dhcp3# apt-get install glibc-2.3.2.ds1-19

This installed.  Although the preinst errors persisted.

/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 148: dpkg-architecture: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 148: [: =: unary operator expected
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 149: dpkg-architecture: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 149: [: =: unary operator expected
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 152: dpkg-architecture: command not found
/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 152: [: =: unary operator expected

then apt-get upgrade installed everyhting else.

So it looks ok, but weird.

Thanks again.

Don
