Hi, I ran into a similar problem going from stable to unstable and updating the basic libraries. The original libdb.so.3 symlink to libdb-2.1.3.so was replaced by a symlink pointing to libdb-old.so, which didn't exist. Replacing the original symlink seemed to fix it.
Got a bit scary there for a moment, since apt relied on perl to run, and perl didn't work because of the missing library. :-) Regards, Peter. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Bagdanoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John > Sent: maandag 13 augustus 2001 04:05 > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: upgrade to testing (woody) -- failed > > > On Sun, Aug 12, 2001 at 01:28:28AM +0000, nestea wrote: > > hi all, > > > > tonight when i tried to upgrade a few boxes to woody, i > received the following error message. > > > > any idea? > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > perl: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot > open shared object file: No such file or directory > > E: Write error - write (32 Broken pipe) > > E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt > > ------------------------------------------------------- > > I ran into the same problem a few days ago, I took the file from another > woody box & added it to the one I just upgraded.
