Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.6.ds1-4 Severity: normal Preparing to replace libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 (using .../libc6_2.3.6.ds1-5_i386.deb) ... Matching libraries: /usr/lib/libpthread.so.20 A copy of glibc was found in an unexpected directory. It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation; please remove that copy of the C library and try again. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.6.ds1-5_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.6.ds1-5_i386.deb Removing libpthread2, which I had installed, fixes this. (BTW, isn't suggesting that the user remove a "copy of the C library" a really bad idea? :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii tzdata 2006l-1 Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time libc6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
