Bug#216466: libc6.1 breaks software far and wide
Package: libc6.1
Version: 2.3.2-7
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks unrelated software
The current libc6.1 in unstable, (2.3.2.ds1-5) breaks various pieces of
software, such as:
XFree86 (4.3.99.14)
BEA's JVM (BEA WebLogic JRockit(R) Virtual Machine (build
8.1sp1-1.4.1-viking-Load8-linux64-stheng03-20030709-1550, Native Threads,
Generational Concurrent Garbage Collector)
the Intel C/C++ compiler
Some of this stuff is binary-only, some of it is built from source.
Whatever the case, it doesn't matter, this libc _breaks stuff_. Here's an
example stack trace of XFree86 dying:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Reverting libc6.1 to 2.3.2-7 makes everything work like a charm once
again. I hope you can track this one down, it's hard to do development work
without C, java or X! ;(
