Fix for serious bug in glibc packages (libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3)
Hello.
I just did an apt-get upgrade, which updated libstdc++
and a bunch of other packages. After the upgrade apt-get
and a few other packages were broken. Each gave me the
error message saying it couldn't find
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
I tinkered around and found that the problems was that the
new package created the file:
/usr/lib/libstdc++libc6.2-2.so.3
^^
no hyphen
I did a quick:
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++libc6.2-2.so.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
Now everything works again. I think this is a serious problem
and would be worth fixing before too many people notice that apt
is broken.
Drop me a mail if you need more info, please CC me on any inssueing
discussion as I am not on the list.
Thanks
Ciaran O'Riordan
