Bug#462090: libc6: Fails to install with internal immediate configuration error
Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-6
Severity: normal
Scenario: system migration. I am migrating from machine A (amd k7) to machine B (amd64). I have copied over *all* files except for /boot and selected configuration files in /etc, and I am now attempting to migrate the these newly-installed packages from k7 to amd64 binaries.
To do this migration, I use
aptitude clean
aptitude -o APT::Architecture=amd64 -f install
which will re-install packages for the new architecture.
Problem: during this update, after downloading the new debians but before any packages are installed, I get the following error:
E: Internal error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6
As far as I can tell, this problem is related to the libc6 package itself rather than the particular process I'm following.
