Problem upgrading libc6



Hi,

I recently tried installing Debian sarge on a SPARCstation IPX. Since I couldn't get neither the Debian installer nor the sarge CD1 to boot correctly, I instead installed woody, which worked fine. Then I tried doing an "apt-get dist-upgrade" from stable to testing, as I had seen other people on the list do. However, no matter what I try the upgrade always stumbles on the upgrade of libc6, from 2.2.5-11.5 to 2.3.2.ds1-12:

ceasar:/etc/apt# apt-get -f install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
  libc6 
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 216  not upgraded.
12 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/4138kB of archives. After unpacking 270kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 
(Reading database ... 19459 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc6 2.2.5-11.5 (using .../libc6_2.3.2.ds1-12_sparc.deb) ...

...

Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-12_sparc.deb (--unpack):
 dpkg: warning - old post-removal script killed by signal (Segmentation fault)

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.2.ds1-12_sparc.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks!
Magnus
