Re: ldconfig responds with Illegal Instruction, cannot
I can report the same problem.
"aptitude upgrade" fails because a series of post-installation scripts
exits with "28690 Illegal instruction ldconfig". I also get "Illegal
instruction" when invoking ldconfig manually.
"dist-upgrade" equally fails. I also tried -f option for both variants.
Always the same.
Here is an example session:
# aptitude update
(...okay)
# aptitude upgrade

After the first failure I removed the line "deb http://excess.org/
unstable main" without noticing any difference. I also read Chapter 6 -
Debian package management of the Debian Reference at without getting
enlightment...
What can I do?
