sarge on sparc4 | kernel 2.6.12-1-sparc32 | libapt-inst-libc6.3-5.so.1.0 problem



Hi All,

 

I am having a problem doing an apt-get –u upgrade, I have the following error: -

 

apt-extracttemplates: error while loading shared libraries: libapt-inst-libc6.3-5.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

dpkg: failed in buffer_read(fd): copy info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available': Input/output error

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

 

I carried out an fsck on /usr and there were some errors which were fixed, it made no difference to the error I am getting.

 

I tried googling and having a look on the debian site.  When I tried the debian irc server, it was suggested I try here.  Here is some info, does anyone have any ideas: -
