Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Upgrading from libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 to 2.3.2.ds1-22 causes my laptop to
hang (no response from network, even magic sysrq doesn't work) at the
"unpacking files to replace libc6" stage. I've tried this a few times
with different kernels - 2.6.12-rc3, 2.6.11-rc3 and the Debian-packaged
2.6.9-1-686 - and also with the "experimental" libc6 2.3.5-1, with the
same result.
I'm not sure whether this is a glibc or kernel bug (or both!) and I'm
not sure whether this bug severity is deserved but I figure someone
who knows more about libc than I will be able to point the bug where
it belongs :-)
Cheers,
Cameron.

reiserfs is not best known for it's reliability.
there for closing this bug.
if you care about your data you should better choose another fs.
upstream is working on it and in slowly peace reiserfs gets errror checking.
