Package: libc6 Version: 2.13-4 --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Problem is that, whatever be the offending file, the only alternatives are to go ahead anyway or abort ALL upgrades. On my system, six packages are pulled with lib6 upgrades. The mix of new and old will crash out X, for instance. I got my system going again by downloading testing packages with the live CD and then downgrading to my system after temporarily preventing x-windows start up, i.e. kdm. The new locales and glibc.doc are apparently OK. A version of this bug was listed as grave and then withdrawn. Since the partial upgrade will render a (x-window running) unusable, I would upgrade this bug. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-1-686-pae Debian Release: wheezy/sid 990 unstable www.debian-multimedia.org 990 unstable http.us.debian.org 990 unstable debian.tagancha.org 990 unstable debian.scribus.net 990 unstable debian.pengutronix.de 650 testing security.debian.org 650 testing http.us.debian.org 650 testing dl.google.com 500 stable security.debian.org 500 stable http.us.debian.org 500 stable deb.opera.com 500 karmic ppa.launchpad.net 500 intrepid ppa.launchpad.net 101 experimental-snapshots qt-kde.debian.net 1 experimental debian.co.il --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =======================-+-=========== libc-bin (= 2.13-4) | 2.13-4 libgcc1 | 1:4.6.0-11 Recommends (Version) | Installed =========================-+-=========== libc6-i686 | 2.13-4 Suggests (Version) | Installed ==========================-+-=========== glibc-doc | 2.13-6 debconf | 1.5.39 OR debconf-2.0 | locales | 2.13-6 |
