Bug#551158: Libc6: exim4 Segfault in libc-2.7.so

[Fabio Rosciano <malmostoso@gmail.com>]

Ok, I took a shortcut.
I booted a livecd and I mounted the / partition of the laptop.
Then I downloaded the following files:

libc6_2.9-27_amd64.deb
libc6-dev_2.9-27_amd64.deb
libc6-i386_2.9-27_amd64.deb

and unpacked them in the newly mounted directory:

$ dpkg-deb -X /tmp/where/the/root/is/mounted

The system now boots normally.
I reinstalled the three aforementioned debs, had to do some cleanup
(installing the correct versions of libc-bin, libc-dev-bin and locales)
and then rebooted. The system is now back to normal.

So I am afraid the problem is in libc6-2.10.1-2.

I hope this helps other who have this problem, it's not clean but it
works.
