Install libc6 fails because(?) no sed was installed but sed 
seems to be used in libc6.postinst.

sed can't be installed anymore because libc6 is partly installed 
and can't be removed without removing the entire base system...


Pardon, that's not a libc6 specifc problem.


sed IS installed
sed IS in /bin/
/bin is in PATH...

but:

Tha might be a problem of sym links?

:/# ls /bin | grep sed
sed



See the "sed" ?

sed is essential, so always guaranteed to be there:
liw@agnes$ dpkg --status sed
Package: sed
Essential: yes

Thanks.
But the "sed" command is not working anymore.

I can do an
#ls /bin/sed
which gives:
sed

but a
#ls -al /bin/sed
gives:
ls: /bin/sed: No such file or directory





It looks like your filesystem is totally screwed. Please do a fsck to
fix that, and maybe reinstall the packages that are screwed.


Yes. you'r right. It was a vserver with some broken hardlinks
(not all, that's the problem).


So there is no bug in the glibc...



That leads to an other question:
Should such an important and powerful programm like an installer not check if all required tools are really there and runable? 
Assume a wrong selective chmod -R 644 ...
or a "mv" which moves that seldom used tool away
there are thoundsand of ways.



Maybe, but this is not a problem in the glibc, closing the bug.
