Woody - upgrade woes
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have a server running woody. This afternoon I tried to install
fte-xwindows package, but ftp.uk.debian.org hadn't got the package. This is
normally time to do an upgrade.
So (in dselect - which I normally use) I did one
There is something wrong with the libc6 package that it tried to install.
sshd keeps exiting saying it hasn't got the right version of GLIBC, ftp
segfaults and other applications won't work either.
My only way out of this was to reboot from my boot floppies (another story -
but getting a kernel onto the floppy which would support reiserfs - as all my
filesystems have been upgraded to this - was a 3 hour detour I would have
rather not had to do this afternoon) and recover the lib files and sshd from
backup.
I just tried again and the same result.
This sounds like a rather nasty problem - is this a problem with the packages
in woody or something I can work around?
