There was very recently a libc6 package (2.0.7r-3) that died if you had an /etc/ld.so.preload file or the environment variable LD_PRELOAD set. I'd recommend temporarily moving that file (after mounting your drive with the rescue disk as above) if it exists and commenting out any definitions of LD_PRELOAD in /etc/profile or similar files. You should then be able to boot your system and upgrade to the latest (-5) libc6 that fixes these problems. (This should be on the ftp mirrors now; though I can't get through to ftp.debian.org at the moment, I can see it on non-us.debian.org, so it's probably on all the major ftp mirrors) You can then move /etc/ld.so.preload back and re-enable any LD_PRELOAD settings. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
