Bug#438586: libc6 upgrade renders etch unusable

[Nathan O. Siemers]

Perhaps the bug  only manifests itself when upgrading a chrooted system?  Other than being a 32 bit chroot on underneath a 64 bit enviroment the distribution is entirely etch and vanilla.

Severity: critical apt-get update; apt-get install using vanilla etch and security sources on a chrooted ia32 debian system is rendered unusable, with most binaries complaining of library errors: line:/# apt-get upgrade E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. line:/# dpkg --configure -a dpkg: relocation error: /lib/libpthread.so.0: symbol errno, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference The system is now unusable, fortunately it is chrooted underneath a pure amd64 debian etch system. I'm afraid to run the update there. I don't really get what the problem is, I've no issue of the sort on the etch system that I have at hand here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
