Problems update libc6
Hello all,
I had slight problems to upgrade to libc6-2.3.6-8 as this package did not want
to install. Hereby I have a slight understanding problem. Can someone
explain, what now is the correct way ?
Short description:
I have a chroot, as described on the debian-AMD64 site. There you wrote:
"You also need a link to your 32bit linker in the /lib path. Change in to
directory /lib and create a link to the 32bit linker library of your chroot:
(The name of the 64bit linker is ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)"
I did so, when I first installed this computer.
Now to upgrade libc6 I had to delete this link, otherwise I could not install
the new libc6, and, now the link does not point any more
to /var/chroot/sid-ia32/lib/libc-2.3.6 any more, but to /lib/libc-2.3.6-8.
Is this information on the AMD64-site deprecated ?
For your information, here the relevant links
4505604 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2006-03-12 19:57 ld-linux-so.2 ->
ld-2.3.6.so

ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 -> /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
I want to run 32-bit and 64-bit programs. How is the status now ?
Is chroot still needed ? Should I use chroot any more because it is easier to
manage ?
Please help me to understand the policy after this.
Thanks and best regards
Hans
