Bug#59168: libc preinstallation script has a problem

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.3-4


Libc6's preinstallation script calls a program called readlink which is
supplied by debinutils. However, readlink is also supplied by a package
called tetex-bin. Therefore, there can be two versions of realink exists
on the system, which are /bin/readlink(by debianutils) and
/usr/bin/readlink(by tetex-bin).

The two version of realink is not compatible each other, and the libc6
preinstallation script should specify the PATH when calling this program. 
On my system, it tries to call /usr/bin/realink, and then failed the installation.

Shao.
