retitle 629534 Upgrade fails, resulting in unusable system (no dynamic linking) thank you On Tue, 7 Jun 2011 10:49:48 -0500, Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> wrote: > > Just to confirm that Sven is not alone, I was hit by the same bug.

I am also on i386 and also hit the failure on upgrade from 2.13-4 to 2.13-5. I did not see the "bad dynamic tag" assertion failure. Elsewhere in the thread was discussion of old linkers in /lib. I had that as well: /lib$ echo ld* ld-2.7.so ld-linux.so.2 I was able to fix my system by booting to a live USB, mounting my filesystem and updating that symlink: ln -sf i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so /lib/ld-linux.so.2 I saw that some people were having trouble replicating the upgrade failure. In case it helps, here is the upgrade history I was able to find for the libc6 package on my system: 2010-10-12: libc6:i386 (2.11.2-5, 2.11.2-7) 2011-01-11: libc6:i386 (2.11.2-6, 2.11.2-7) 2011-05-23: libc6:i386 (2.11.2-7, 2.11.2-11) 2011-05-05: libc6:i386 (2.11.2-11, 2.13-2) 2011-05-24: libc6:i386 (2.13-2, 2.13-4) Please let me know if there's any further information I can provide. -Carl -- carl.d.worth@intel.com
