| Package: libc6
| Severity: critical
| Version: 2.1.3-4
|
| Hi Joel,
|
| Sorry, but I have to tell you that the libc6 in frozen just broke during
| an upgrade. The problem lies in the new preinst that checks for
/etc/localtime
| being a link and uses readlink to follow that link.
|
| Now we have 2 readlink binaries in Debian - debianutils has /bin/readlink
| and tetex-bin /usr/bin/readlink. In my case the /usr/bin readlink was
| invoked resulting in an error (that readlink takes exactly one argument).
tetex-bin already removes /usr/bin/readlink.
Quoted from /usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/changelog.Debian.gz:
tetex-bin (1.0.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
* remove readlink from tetex-bin. It is now in debianutils (closes:
Bug#51433)
And current tetex-bin (1.0.6-3) does not have /usr/bin/readlink.
So the current state of the art does not have this bug, and this
report can be closed or downgraded, I think.
(I don't do it since Joel is the maintainer.)
But I don't know people may have problems when upgrading from slink
to potato. If so, there should be some workaround for this, or at least
some caution in release notes.
Regards.
