Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-5
Severity: critical
On upgrading my Debian/unstable system (oddly called heaven) from libc6 2.3.1-3
to 2.3.1-5 it halts the installation with this text:
Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.1-3 (using .../libc6_2.3.1-5_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-5_i386.deb (--unpack):
unable to install new version of `./lib/ld-2.3.1.so': Device or resource busy
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-5_i386.deb
When the file is to be replaced, it is being used by a heap of different tools.
"lsof | grep ld-" gives a pretty good idea where the trouble is.
This have worked before, new upgrade routines in the libc6 package?
Cheers,
Magnus

This message is really normal state.
/lib/ld-2.3.1.so is a normal file (not directory), so getting EBUSY
("Device or resource busy" message) may be it can't be shared but it's
already in use. Using 'grep EBUSY in glibc/kernel source' tell you
what EBUSY means.
Usually EBUSY returns from kernel, not glibc (mostly). I guess
system is inproper state, rebooting your system resolve this problem.
I also guess you might use something to mount/unmount a filesystem.

Yes. It's likely. Rebooting your system is right decision.
If you are still enable to track this problem, check your filesystem
and mount status. If this problem is glibc matter, the problem is
reproduceable.
I close this bug.
