Bug#888183: libc6: Breaks openvz virtuals again
Package: libc6
Version: 2.26-4
Severity: important
[Reporting this from a different box.]
The latest libc upgrade again breaks openvz virtuals.
On kvm/xen/bare you get a dialog asking whether you want to upgrade libc.
On vz you get a notice about the (un-upgradable) kernel version but
not the do you want dialog.
Things which depend on libc6 get upgraded but the libc6 upgrade aborts.
This leaves blocks apt from installing or upgrading *any* packages.
apt --fix-broken install does not help.
Even trying to switch to stretch fails.
And the earlier 2.26 debs are gone from the mirrors, so downgrading to
a working version is not possible either.
I tried using dpkg to downgrade to the current stretch libc version
but that also fails because it is only 2.24 and
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 requires GLIBC_2.25. And that
breaks all kinds of things, even some which have nothings to do with
udev.
