Bug#629534: libc6: Dynamic linker assertion failed after upgrade, nothing startable anymore
Package: libc6
Version: 2.13-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
While upgrading from libc6 2.13-4 to 2.13-5 on a i386 system:
Preparing to replace libc6 2.13-4 (using .../archives/libc6_2.13-5_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
Setting up libc6 (2.13-5) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/i486-linux-gnu.conf ...
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 62: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dynamic-link.h: 62: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad dynamic tag"' failed!
E: Problem executing scripts DPkg::Post-Invoke 'if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums --generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi'
E: Sub-process returned an error code
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (127)
After this no dynamically linked program on the system is startable anymore:
haegar:~# dpkg --help

haegar@aurora:~$ ls
