Please test glibc 2.0.94
Hi,
I've got only the test report from Steve Dunham which is probably not very
representative because 2.0.93 doesn't work for him, too.
Could someone who is using 2.0.93 already try my 2.0.94 build from
ftp://pc5.isr.uni-stuttgart.de ?
Here's the recipe how to rescue your system just in case ;-)
- Make sure you have a working rescue floppy or tftpimage. Be sure that the
second console (<Ctrl>-<Alt>-F2) when booting from the rescue image is
working.
- grab the libc6 2.0.93 package
- ar xv libc6....deb
- you'll get a file debian-binary, data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz
- search for an empty floppy
- mke2fs /dev/fd0 (be sure you type fd0 and nothing else, don't reformat your
harddisk)
- mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
- cp data.tar.gz /mnt
- umount /mnt
- now install my new libc6 package
- if nothing fails you are done
- if everything fails, note the details and reboot from the rescue system
- change to the second console
- mount /dev/<your root partition> /target
- mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
- cd /target
- zcat < /mnt/data.tar.gz | star
- umount /dev/fd0
- eject /dev/fd0
- reboot
- after your system is up, install the 2.0.93 package correctly again
- dpkg -i libc6....deb
- write a slightly annoyed report that 2.0.94 is foobar
Greetings,
Christian

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
