Hi Bob, dev:~# dpkg --list libc6 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-============================-============================-======================================================================= ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries
However, I think that I am wasting your time as this issue appears to be related to a possible infection with the RST.b virus and an unknown rootkit (possibly suckit). :( We've run the rootkit finding program rkhunter which has identified some issues. Could you tell me the best way to mark this bug as virus related and change it's status to closed?
