libc6 upgrade problem
Hi,
I did just upgrade some packages (one of them is libc6) on a server
running etch.
It seems (from what I can see in the backups of this server) that an old
version of libc6 is lying in /usr/local/lib/tls (maybe a leftover from
some previous install).
As a matter of fact, i'm unable to run any command (a simple ls will
give the following output: relocation error:
/usr/local/lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_starting_up, version
GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference
That's the output from apt-get after installing libc6
/usr/bin/dpkg: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol
_dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2
with link time reference
sh: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol
_dl_starting_up, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2
with link time reference
Questions:
- If I reboot the server, will it simply discard the "bad" libc6 located
in /usr/local/lib ?
- If I empty the file (echo "" > /usr/local/lib/tls/libc.so.6) will it
be ignored by the system upon next reboot ?
- If nothing else can be done i'll have to have the server restarted
with a live cd.
Thanks
Laurent
