Bug#419879: libc6 upgrade error

["Ohba Yoshihiro" <yohba727@gmail.com>]

Hi,

 

(1) Reinstallation of the latest version of libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 succeeded.

(2) Then I tried upgrade to libc6 2.5-2, I encounterd the same error (dpkg log is shown below).

 

The situation did not change even if run 'mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.old' between (1) and (2).

There is no trace of libc 2.5 in the directory. It seems the package has
not been upgraded, and so that the bug is in libc 2.3.6.

Could you please to reinstall the latest version of libc 2.3.6 (ie
2.3.6.ds1-13) before doing the upgrade?

You can get the package from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.3.6.ds1-13_i386.deb

you can install it with 'dpkg -i'.

Bye,
Aurelien
