Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.5-6 Severity: serious Architecture: powerpc Subject says it: while upgrading from a rather dated testing install (around Apr. 05) with libc6 2.2.5-11.8 to current testing, a number of things went wrong.
I am running unstable on an Oldworld PowerMac, kernel 2.6.8, and I don't have any problem.
Your system looks older than a testing from April 2005. libc6 version 2.2.5-11.8 is a libc6 from Woody, an Debian does not support direct Woody -> Etch upgrade.
Most notably, upon unpacking libc6 2.3.5-6, the libc6 postinstall failed with ldconfig segfaulting. This error, in the middle of an upgrade that required Force-LoopBreak, left me unable to recover normally. I forced the upgrade to proceed hoping some other package yet to be installed would restore normal ldconfig function, to no avail. Unpacking the old 2.2.5-11.8 ldconfig, however, fixed my system perfectly. Synopsis: broken ldconfig: from libc6 2.3.5-6 (perhaps earlier versions are also affected) working ldconfig: from libc6 2.2.5-11.8 kernel version: 2.2.20-pmac (Debian package, unknown version)
This is a rather old version, not even available in Debian Sarge.I suggest you to upgrade to Debian Sarge first (and also your kernel to a 2.4 or 2.6 version), before trying to upgrade to testing or unstable.
