Re: libc6 still breaking upgrade to unstable

[Florian Kulzer <florian.kulzer+debian@icfo.es>]

Your most pressing problem seems to be the "symbol _dl_out_of_memory"
issue, which blocks the libc6 upgrade. The BTS suggests that it is
possible to work around this problem by removing /lib/tls/* and then
continuing the upgrade. You can find further details in this bug report:
