Bug#58691: Upgrading libc6 fails with tetex-bin installed
Package: libc6
Severity: critical
Version: 2.1.3-4
Hi Joel,
Sorry, but I have to tell you that the libc6 in frozen just broke during
an upgrade. The problem lies in the new preinst that checks for /etc/localtime
being a link and uses readlink to follow that link.
Now we have 2 readlink binaries in Debian - debianutils has /bin/readlink
and tetex-bin /usr/bin/readlink. In my case the /usr/bin readlink was
invoked resulting in an error (that readlink takes exactly one argument).
Thanks
Torsten
