The reason I did not use aptitude because I couldn't install any package due to conflicts. If I was trying to fix it from aptitude I would have downloaded and install a lot of packages which I was afraid that I would broke the machine :-) I got it form wget http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.7-13_amd64.deb > > > > ========= > > mchine:~/manual_packages# dpkg -i ./libc6_2.7-13_amd64.deb > > Is this machine already running AMD64? > Yes it is > > (It should, because otherwise dpkg would complain, I just want to make > sure you are really showing what you are doing.) > > > (Reading database ... 40922 files and directories currently installed.) > > Preparing to replace libc6 2.5-11 (using ./libc6_2.7-13_amd64.deb) ... > > Checking for services that may need to be restarted... > > Checking init scripts... > > Unpacking replacement libc6 ... > > dpkg: error while cleaning up: > > subprocess rm cleanup killed by signal (Segmentation fault) > > To me this looks like your new libc6 is very broken and now nothing > using it (which is about everything) will work.

Basically I cannot exec rsync, scp If I manage to get the old libc6, I used to have, and manage some how to install it (since I cannot execute dpkg) it wil work (in theory)? > > J. > -- > When you put a gun to my head you aren't fooling anyone. > [Agree] [Disagree] > <http://www.slowlydownward.com/NODATA/data_enter2.html> > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAkjbjDoACgkQ+AfZydWK2zmMzgCdGkIZtCppM5MNxHLbwoHzAICL > N3IAnA0TBab7Y74WHREjqX3BEMUvPwvO > =jAhY > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > >
