Package: libc6
Version: 2.10.2-3
Severity: important
Hello,
Just after upgrading libc6 from 2.10.2-2 to 2.10.2-3, utime calls fail for
folders (not for regular files). This breaks main programs such as tar, dpkg,
touch and postfix.
Here are 2 examples:
$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 user users 4096 jan. 4 17:22 test_directory
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 0 jan. 4 17:22 test_file
$touch test_file
$touch test_directory
touch: setting times of `test_directory': Bad file descriptor
$aptitude upgrade
(...)
tar: ./postrm: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./postinst: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./md5sums: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./shlibs: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./control: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: ./symbols: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: .: Cannot utime: Bad file descriptor
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
dpkg-deb: subprocess tar returned error exit status 2
Downgrading /lib/libc-2.10.2.so to version 2.10.2-2 fixes the bug.
I have an ext3 partition with a lot of free space. Note that I have an old
kernel (2.6.21.1).
