libc6 upgrade problem
I recently updated through dselect, and the process hangs when it tries
to upgrade libc6. I am using testing. Here is what I get:
Preparing to replace libc6 2.2.1-1 (using libc6_2.2.1-3_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 .
It will hang there for at least an hour (yes, I let it run for that
long). The hard drive, cpu, and memory are not being accessed, so I
don't think the process is doing anything at all.
I actually have two questions here. First... What is the next logical
step? Should I try to find 2.2.1-2 and upgrade to that first?
Second... how do I kill the process? I tried Ctrl-c and that didn't
work. I tried Ctrl-z and that didn't work. Then I tried firing up
another xterm and killing the process with "kill -9 [PID]" and that
didn't kill it. The only thing I could do to kill it was change to
runlevel 1 and then back to 2. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brian
