I had the same problem on i386. I installed libc6 2.7-4 and findutils 4.2.31-3, which worked fine. I upgraded libc6 to 2.11.2-7. xargs broke with the same error message:
xargs: xargs.c:445: main: Assertion `bc_ctl.arg_max <= (131072-2048)' failed. Upgrading findutils to 4.4.2-1+b1 fixed the problem. -- Oohara Yuuma <ooh...@libra.interq.or.jp> The light of daybreak can no longer be ceased. --- Gust/Banpresto "Ar tonelico II" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
