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.
PS. Sorry if this message has appeared twice, the previous version
didn't show up for a while, and it wasn't word-wrapped.
