Well, this is solved, at least it's working anyway. What I found was that /etc/init.d/glibc.sh had been renamed. Once I renamed it libc6, libc6-amd64, and libc6-dev all installed normally. How the glibc.sh script came to be renamed I haven't a clue.Kevin Ross wrote:This is something that I have wondered about too. I've been curious as to why it was installed. It definitely isn't something that I intentionally installed. It had to have been installed either with the system originally, or as a dependency requirement for another package.Errors were encountered while processing: libc6 libc6-amd64 libc6-dev I'm running Sid with the 2.6.18-4-486 kernel.Is it even possible to run 64-bit apps with a 486 kernel?
This is the the 5th or 6th strange thing that has happened since I rebuilt my laptop. The others have all been related to /etc/apt/sources.list. The first time I booted into the machine and went to install software I found all lines in sources.list had been commented out. This has been happening on a daily basis since then. All entries in the file were commented out again. It seems to have happened during the failed update that included the libc6 packages.
