Public bug reported: I've upgraded to 12.04 since a couple of weeks ago, since then I've periodically updated/dist-upgraded my system.
The latest attempt fails with the next behavior: apt-get update - all goes well When trying apt-get dist-upgrade I get this: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6 : Depends: libc-bin (= 2.15-0ubuntu6) Breaks: libc6:i386 (!= 2.15-0ubuntu6) but 2.15-0ubuntu7 is installed libc6:i386 : Breaks: libc6 (!= 2.15-0ubuntu7) but 2.15-0ubuntu6 is installed libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu7) but 2.15-0ubuntu6 is installed libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu7) but 2.15-0ubuntu6 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. When trying apt-get -f install I get this: A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory: '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.15.so' It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation; please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu' and try again. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.15-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: beta precise-pangolin -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980573 Title: apt-get fails at libc6 upgrade with "A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory" error message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/980573/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
