Bug#629534: [libc6] Successful upgrade on i386
Package: libc6
Version: 2.13-5
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I was able to complete an upgrade of libc6 on an old i386 box I run, which
had its last reinstall in October 2007. During the installation Xorg lost
video, so I had to complete the installation via an ssh connection.
/lib/ld* after the installation looks like this:
/lib$ ls -l ld*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jun 6 11:08 ld-linux.so.2 -> i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 5 11:54 ld-lsb.so.1 -> ld-linux.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 5 11:54 ld-lsb.so.2 -> ld-linux.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 5 11:54 ld-lsb.so.3 -> ld-linux.so.2
I wanted to include what /lib/ld* looked like before the upgrade, but
because I lost X I also lost the terminal I was working in where I had
that information ready. However, what I recall seeing was that there
was an ld-2.13.so file in /lib directly before the upgrade.
Examination of libc6_2.13-4_i386.deb and libc6_2.13-5_i386.deb via 'debdiff'
confirms this:
$ debdiff libc6_2.13-4_i386.deb libc6_2.13-5_i386.deb
...
Files in second .deb but not in first
-------------------------------------
...
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.13.so
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.13.so
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.13.so
...
Files in first .deb but not in second
-------------------------------------
...
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /lib/ld-2.13.so
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /lib/libc-2.13.so
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /lib/libpthread-2.13.so
lrwxrwxrwx root/root /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.13.so
So there is a change in ld file location in this upgrade.
