Yep, this caught me out at midnight last night and I've yet to tackle it. I can only boot into runlevel two (where booting now stops). It won't let me login though.
My plan was to use the debian install cd 1 to boot and mount the linux partition. I should be able to downgrade from there, right? What is the downgraded command I should be using? thanks, Joss On Sat, Jul 12, 2003 at 09:33:22AM +0200, Mich Lanners wrote: > Hi all, > > To those that are tracking unstable and haven't noticed (or haven't been > caught :-) yet: > > DON'T upgrade to libc6-2.3.1-17.0.1 in unstable.
