Bug#369348: libc6: Syntax errors in preinst script
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6-9
Severity: important
While upgrading a sarge chroot to sid (this has not happened before,
although I've often tried this!), I get error messages from the preinst
script:
Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 (using .../libc6_2.3.6-9_i386.deb) ...
Name Service Switch update in the C Library: pre-installation question.
Running services and programs that are using NSS need to be restarted,
otherwise they might not be able to do lookup or authentication any more.
The installation process is able to restart some services (such as ssh or
telnetd), but other programs cannot be restarted automatically. One such
program that needs manual stopping and restart after the glibc upgrade by
yourself is xdm - because automatic restart might disconnect your active
X11 sessions.
Known packages that need to be stopped before the glibc upgrade are:
xdm kdm gdm postgresql xscreensaver
This script did not detect any installed services which need to be
stopped.
If you want to interrupt the upgrade now and continue later, please
answer No to the question below.
Non-interactive mode, upgrade glibc forcibly

The chroot seems to still work properly, though.
