Source: libc6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When I tried to upgrade to libc6:amd64 2.18-3 from 2.17-97, the upgrade silently failed after "Checking init scripts..." The problem was in the line 301 of its preinst script: ldfile=$(readlink -e /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) This just fails under 'set -e' when this symlink does not exist, preinst script exits with code 1 and upgrade process stops. I've fixed it with ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.17.so /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 - after that the upgrade succeeded... But this is the first time Debian failed to upgrade libc6 for me ! -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to ru_RU.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
