Package: libc6
Version: latest pushed out as an update to etch.
Severity: critical

apt-get  update; apt-get install
using vanilla etch and security sources on a chrooted ia32 debian system is rendered unusable, with most binaries complaining of library errors: 


line:/# apt-get upgrade
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. 
line:/# dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: relocation error: /lib/libpthread.so.0: symbol errno, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
The system is now unusable, fortunately it is chrooted underneath a pure amd64 debian etch system. I'm afraid to run the update there. 

Debian Etch.
amd64 host with emul-ia32 chroot environment (where the problem is so far).

sources.list (on chroot environment):
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

kernel (my own compilation):
line:/stf/FF/skype-1.3.0.53# uname -a
Linux line 2.6.17.11ns4 #4 SMP Fri Jul 27 17:48:31 EDT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
NOTE: it is assumed that libc6 is the culprit here - in fact a number of packages were upgraded at once. 

Thank you,

Nathan

Then it's not a bug of the package, it's a bug of your setup. This
directory is a system directory, don't place a chroot in it.
