Bug#200833: installation of libc6 2.3.1-17.0.1
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.1-17.0.1
Followup-For: Bug #200833
the version i'm reporting a bug against is as above, but my own is fine
2.3.1-17), i'm just reporting this for another machine that has a
TOTALLY FUBAR libc (it has the -17.0.1 version installed, an imac rev. a)
so this is going to be anecdotal, but direct first-hand experience:
i upgrade sid on this imac, and something funny was going on with gdm, i
retsart gdm, and it segfaults. try again, directly from the script
segfaults again. i'm wondering "what's going on? this is weird", not
thinking that it was the upgrade (which included libc6 2.3.1-17.0.1 and
friends) so i reboot the imac, nothing starts up, and i try to get a
login, nothing works, can't grab tty1... i think "oy, this isn't good".
so i reboot again, in single user mode, gives me the "give root password
for maintenance ctrl-D for normal startup" - still can't get tty1, try
ctrl-alt-del, -- nothing happens.
downgrading (which i will do once i get back to it) libc6 is very high
on the TODO list for that machine ;).
