libc6 installing error
(please cc to me, i follow this mailing list via the archives)
hi,
whilst upgrading my frozen-box, i got following error.
chesterfield:/etc/apt# apt-get install libc6
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, libc6 is already the newest version
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 47 not
upgraded.
2 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Setting up libc6 (2.1.3-2) ...

Run 'tzconfig' if you wish to change it.
/etc/init.d/devpts.sh: line 63: syntax error: unexpected end of file
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev:
libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.1.3-2); however:
Package libc6 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing libc6-dev (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6
libc6-dev
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
however, reading
http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-0002/msg01014.html gave
me an excellent solution to this
but... why isnt this corrected? it's the 21th today, that message was
posted the 8th, and i still got that error (before changing that file of
course).
