Watch out folks. I upgraded libc6 and libc6-dev and my system is kind of broken and I don't know if I can fix it. I downgraded the two packages but I don't believe things are really fixed:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: ldconfig: command not found dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev: libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.1.3-13); however: Package libc6 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing libc6-dev (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: libc6 libc6-dev running dpkg --pending --configure ... dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH. NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin. dpkg --configure returned error exit status 2. OUCH!!
