Re: upgraded libc6 and libc6 and broke my system (Woody)
Hi Andrew,
Rather mysterious. Nothing has broken. Restarted exim (in a deliberate attempt to break it - if the problem was really there), and is continued to work. Even rebooted (I would much rather have it break when I am expecting it). Everything still works. And /sbin/ldconfig is still there. I don't understand, but, nevertheless, I have downloaded the potato versions of the the .debs needed to fix things should the need arise.
Is it possible that the problem is not universal?
Thanks,
Bryan
