I replied 'no', and, so far, I have not attempted to continue this
install process of 'audacity' and the upgrade of glibc.

Ever since then, I am encountering problems and error messages when
trying to install something. For instance, if I do :
#apt-get install gphoto2
the install process starts... then :

Here is what I get :

/sbin/ldconfig: ERROR: cannot open `/sbin/ldconfig' (No such file or directory)
dpkg -L libc6 | grep ldconfig
(it just returns the shell, nothing else)
It seems that dpkg is confused: It claims that libc6 version 2.7-18 is
installed without problems, but it does not know about /sbin/ldconfig
and the file itself is not present on your system.
r...@new-host:/home/bd# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
That is OK at least.
I propose to try reinstalling libc6 2.7-18 with dpkg. The necessary .deb
file should still be in your apt cache, so this might work:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_*.deb
Here is what I get :
r...@new-host:/home/bd# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18_*.deb
dpkg : « ldconfig » introuvable dans la variable PATH.
dpkg: 1 programme(s) attendu(s) introuvable(s) dans la variable PATH.
NB : la variable PATH du superutilisateur doit normalement contenir
/usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin et /sbin.

Maybe I should run 'ldconfig' ? I wouldn't dare to test this without
more knowledge ; I wouldn't know what options and arguments to add.
If the .deb is missing then you can download it manually with your
favorite browser:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libc6
(Scroll down to the section "Download libc6" and click on the link for
your architecture in the table.)
