Package: libc6
Version: 2.13-27
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
My system (debian/testing) is using 2.13-27 version of libc6 and I'm trying to
upgrade to the current testing version...

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I'm trying to do an "aptitude install libc6"

   * What was the outcome of this action?
It didn't finish well, I obtain the following messages :
A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory:
  '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so'
It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation;
please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of
'/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' and try again.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
An upgrade without problem !

I have tryied :
 - to move that file -> nothing work after that so I cannot redo the upgrade !
 - to use a rescue CD (PartedMagic), chroot the environement and try to force
the upgrade, but I get the same result !

Is there any solution to make the upgrade happen without reinstalling the whole
system ?

Regards

Mourad

Ok, thanks for the answer, doing that with this mail.

Ok, though I hope it won't happen to you again.
