Title:
installing or upgrading libc6 in Trusty removes all content from /tmp
directory
Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
We are seeing an issue with installation of dkms package during a
curtin installation which ends up with /tmp directory being wiped
clean. This is very bad for curtin as it saves critical installation
files in /tmp.
It turns out that it's the of upgrading libc6, which is triggered as a
result of installing dependencies, that removes content of /tmp. For
example, installation of gcc results in the same result since it ends
up with libc6 being upgraded. The only way that this won't be
recreated is if the latest libc6 is already installed.
This problem does not exist in precise. It can also be recreated by
installing the .deb file for any version in trusty including 2.17.
