Bug#255023: absurd df output - suspect dependency problem between libc6-sparc64 and fileutils
Package: libc6-sparc64
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-12
I am using Debian woody on a sparc64 system, running a 2.4.26 kernel.
Having a need to upgrade to a later version of jigdo-file (0.7.0-2 from
testing), various other packages had to be upgraded to the versions in
testing. I've included a log of this upgrade at the bottom of this
message.
Following this, I find that the output from 'df' becomes absurd, e.g.:
rejs@galadriel:~$ df

/dev/md8 57P 13P 41P 24% /data
(my md devices are actually created from two 80G drives)
This problem is not fixed by a reboot but is cured by upgrading
fileutils - df then reports correctly. I assume there is a missing
dependency here?

Name Service Switch has changed in the C Library: pre-installation question.
Running programs may not be able to do NSS lookups until they are
restarted (for services such as ssh, this can affect your ability to
login).
Note: restarting sshd/telnetd should not affect any existing connections.
The services detected are: inetd apache cron ssh exim
If other services begin to fail mysteriously after this upgrade,
it may be necessary to restart them too. We strongly recommend
you to reboot your machine to avoid the NSS related trouble.
Do you wish to Restart Services? [Y/n]
Restarting services possibly affected by the upgrade:
inetd: stopping...starting...done.
apache: stopping...starting...done.
cron: stopping...starting...done.
ssh: stopping...starting...done.
exim: stopping...starting...done.
Services restarted successfully.
Current default timezone: 'Europe/London'.
Local time is now: Thu Jun 17 18:23:07 BST 2004.
Universal Time is now: Thu Jun 17 17:23:07 UTC 2004.
Run 'tzconfig' if you wish to change it.
