For already broken systems like yours, here is a procedure to fix it. On
a rescue system, change to the root directory of the system to be fixed.
- make sure ldconfig won't be run anymore:
ln -sf /bin/true lib/ldconfig
- point the symlink to the correct libc version:
ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl-2.18.so lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
note that the version 2.18 might have to be adjusted depending on the
libc currently installed on your system
Then reboot on the system and run the following commands:
- remove libc6-amd64:
apt-get remove libc6-amd64
- reinstall and/or upgrade at least libc6 and libc-bin:
apt-get --reinstall libc6 libc-bin
