libc6 upgrade lenny to squeeze failed, now dpkg is broken
Hi,
I was required to upgrade libc6 from lenny to squeeze in order to meet dependencies to install a package from unstable, but the libc6 upgrade failed because libc-bin was not installed. Now dpkg is broken. I tried a manual reinstall of the lenny libc6, as suggested in another thread on this list, but it did not work. The result was:
debian:/home/chris# dpkg -i libc6_2.7-18lenny2_i386.deb
dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin.
How can this be fixed? And shouldn't there be a big warning that trying to upgrade libc6 can break dpkg, on the Debian website page for libc6?
Best regards,
Chris Austin.
