I plan to upload glibc-snapshot package for Debian experimental
distribution.  It's similar to gcc-snapshot package.  This package has
been requested by various reasons:
      

Crap... these packages just hosed my debian machine:

dpkg: relocation error: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: symbol 
_dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 
with link time reference

Now I get these errors left and right...
    

Thanks for your testing.  However I think your error is caused by the
incorrect installation of packages.  Could you show me how to install
them and your environment settings (ex: kernel version)?

  

I just downloaded the packages:

libc6-i686_2.3.4-0.3.snapshot20041220.1_i386.deb

and

libc6_2.3.4-0.3.snapshot20041220.1_i386.deb

and

libc6-dev_2.3.4-0.3.snapshot20041220.1_i386.deb

(which seems a bit comfusing but the libc6-i686 package has it as a dependency)

And then I installed with

dpkg -i libc6_2.3.4-0.3.snapshot20041220.1_i386.deb libc6-i686_2.3.4-0.3.snapshot20041220.1_i386.deb libc6-dev_2.3.4-0.3.snapshot20041220.1_i386.deb

Now I'm willing to assume that I did something wrong but it would be nice if there were some instructions on how to do this :).  That and maybe some defensive code to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot.

This is on kernel 2.6.10.
