'function not implemented' when upgrading to potato
I get errors similar to and including the following during dist-upgrade.
I'm running kernel 2.0.35 with Sparc patches and just hand-upgraded to
glibc2.1
i mamually unpacked fileutils and used the ch* executables out of there,
so I know it's not a problem with fileutils. I suspect it's a problem with
libc6....
