libc6 upgrade
Hello,
I'm trying to get to grips with apt as I've never used it before and
decided to try to upgrade my system a Cobalt RAQ2 running Woody, my
/etc/apt/sources.list is:
deb ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main
non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main
non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
I did an:
apt-get update
followed with an
apt-get upgrade
And apt merrily went away and got a libc6 update. Hooray I thought this
will be a good test and so it was, everything seemed to go well until
apt tried to install the libc6 package. I got this error:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: [: too many arguments
When I check the version of libc6 installed it seems to be the latest:
# dpkg -l | grep libc6
ii libc6 2.2.5-11.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and
Timezone
ii libc6-dev 2.2.5-11.1 GNU C Library: Development Libraries
and Hea
ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-12 General Purpose Mouse Library [libc6]
The final bit of the postinst script seems to try and upgrade init and I
see a 're-execing init' in my logs so I assume it did this. Everything
seems to be working, but this stuff is new to me and I don't know if
something is now broken that will come back and bite me later. Any
advice is appreciated.
