Re: Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO (regular posting)
Scott, I had some problems. Specifically:
bhmit1@hobbes(p1):bhmit1$ /bin/bash
/bin/bash: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: rl_get_string_value_hook
> o libc6_2.0.4-1 - check
> o ldso_1.9.5-1 - check
> o ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-3 - check
> o libreadline2_2.1-2.1 - check
> o libreadlineg2_2.1-2.1 - check
> o bash_2.01-0.1 - failed in post install from above error
I also installed libdl1-dev_1.9.5-1.deb because of an ldconfig error:
ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libreadline.so (No such file or
directory), skipping
[ started after libreadline, fixed after libreadlineg ]
ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libhistory.so (No such file or
directory), skipping
[ same as above ]
ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libdl.so (No such file or
directory), skipping
[ started after ldso I think, probably an earlier problem with my system.
It was fixed by installing libdl1-dev ]
Note, I didn't purge the -dev libraries. If I want to compile anything, I
can live with libc5 for now. Everything seems to work after replacing
/bin/bash with a backup version I have. The main goal of all this was to
get netscape 4 helper apps working (didn't want to use the ash route).
If you need anymore info, please ask.
