Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-6
Severity: serious
Architecture: powerpc
Subject says it: while upgrading from a rather dated testing install
(around Apr. 05) with libc6 2.2.5-11.8 to current testing, a number of
things went wrong.
I am running unstable on an Oldworld PowerMac, kernel 2.6.8, and I don't
have any problem.
Your system looks older than a testing from April 2005. libc6 version
2.2.5-11.8 is a libc6 from Woody, an Debian does not support direct
Woody -> Etch upgrade.
Most notably, upon unpacking libc6 2.3.5-6, the libc6 postinstall failed
with ldconfig segfaulting. This error, in the middle of an upgrade that
required Force-LoopBreak, left me unable to recover normally. I forced the
upgrade to proceed hoping some other package yet to be installed would
restore normal ldconfig function, to no avail.
Unpacking the old 2.2.5-11.8 ldconfig, however, fixed my system perfectly.
Synopsis:
broken ldconfig: from libc6 2.3.5-6 (perhaps earlier versions are also
affected)
working ldconfig: from libc6 2.2.5-11.8
kernel version: 2.2.20-pmac (Debian package, unknown version)
This is a rather old version, not even available in Debian Sarge.
I suggest you to upgrade to Debian Sarge first (and also your kernel to
a 2.4 or 2.6 version), before trying to upgrade to testing or unstable.
Bye,
Aurelien
