Package: eglibc Version: 2.13-38 Severity: grave Justification: leaves system unusable
[Sorry for not filing this bug with reportbug, but due to this bug that doesn't work anymore. I am also unable to sign my mail at this moment, due to this bug.] For building an i386-only package I libc6-amd64 was installed on my multiarch system. After removal of the package I got apt telling me: The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libc6-amd64:i386 libc6-dev:i386 linux-libc-dev:i386 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. So, I followed up with paul@wollumbin ~ $ sudo apt-get autoremove Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: libc6-amd64:i386 libc6-dev:i386 linux-libc-dev:i386 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 31.5 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? (Reading database ... 227583 files and directories currently installed.) Removing libc6-amd64 ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-removal script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6-amd64.postrm): No such file or directory dpkg: error processing libc6-amd64 (--remove): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2 Removing libc6-dev:i386 ...

I hope I still can fix this... but at the moment my possibilities are limited. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
