That's just not possible...been thought of, and there is no real
solution. I suggest for people testing _unstable_ to seriously consider
installing sash (a static compiled shell) and always keep .debs around
of a working libc6.
Hate to say it folks, but this is unstable, and it can and will break at
any moment. So if your not prepared to take measures for fallback, or
you can't afford downtime on the system, stick with stable :)
So for the record, right now libc6 2.1.1-2 is broken for all sun4m
arch's in the unstable dist, so please don't upgrade to it, if you have
sun4m. Sun4[udc] are known to work perfectly fine.
